Hi , is it mandatory to put personal name in organization chart? Currently we practices place position in the chart.

Depends on your country regulations and GFSI scheme you're with - however, I've never heard of such a requirement. Common sense is to indicate a position - which you already do.

Yes Its a requirement. In organogram need to be mentioned Name of the HOD additionally need to develop user department organogram also - This comments received from External auditors.

I don't like putting names (it's one more thing you have to remember to change)   I just use position titles

We use job titles on the list of who does what tasks.

I don't use names in any of my paperwork like forms, sops, etc, but on the org chart I do.   We're a small place so it's not a big deal to make changes, which almost never happens anyway.   But if I had a bunch of people I probably wouldn't use names.

Same for me as mentioned above (though I haven't made one in quite awhile):  the org chart shows names and titles for management positions (supervisors get named as well, depending on the size of the company).  I also like to color the boxes in my org charts to denote when those positions have direct food safety responsibilities in the SOP's and other colors when they're members of the HACCP team, plus asterisks to denote SQF practitioners.  This single document has never been difficult for me to maintain, and provides auditors a direct view of who does what.

 

In the SOP's I never mention names to make sure I don't have to update entire quality manuals when someone comes on board or leaves.  It only names positions on whom is responsible for the various programs, usually stuff like "the quality manager or their designee" as an example for who might verify a start-up checklist.
