Who should Quality report to?

Can you please advise where in the ISO9001 it states that Quality shouldn't report to Operations or who they should report to please?

There is no such requirement in ISO 9001:2015, so you can do whatever works best for your organization. Actually this is an old view of the processes and departments in an organization and I believe the opposite is true, that is, if Quality Department  reports to operations can be an efficient way to ensure that the best resources are deployed to the operating processes. Quality and Operations should work as a team rather than adversaries in order to bring real benefits for your company. 

For more information about quality and operations in ISO 9001:2015, see the following materials:
