The problem it solves

Org charts say who reports to whom, not who signs off an MRB disposition, who decides that a nonconformance needs a corrective action, or who recalls a gauge past its date. When those answers live in habit, two people each assume the other has it, and an auditor's question about authority lands on whoever is in the room. This matrix writes each answer down, one line per role and activity, and checks that every activity has exactly one accountable owner.

Who uses it

Quality directors and managers who assign authority; the people named in it; auditors who sample responsibilities and authorities.

When

When roles change, when a new process or customer requirement arrives, and before every management review and registrar audit.

Aegis Insights inside. Wherever this resource gives our own guidance, it is labeled Aegis Insights, so you always know what is our experience and what a standard or your customer requires.

A management aid, not certification or a registrar audit. Using it does not by itself show conformity to AS9100D or any other standard.
