Head of Production as Management Representative

Would there be any contradiction or compromise in quality if the head of production is made a management representative? and what does ISO 9001 say about this? In reference to the 2008 version, does it talk about head of production to be made a management rep?

Answer:

There is no contradictions or collision with the requirements if head of production is a management representative. The standard only requires top management to assign one member of the management to be management representative and id doesn't give any further guidelines so the company may choose anyone within the members of the middle management. I think it is good to be a head of production because he understands the core processes and is directly in charge of the quality of products.
