Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A production supervisor is responsible for ensuring that production targets are met, and would therefore be directly accountable for a quantity variance if production falls short of expectations. A machine operator may have some responsibility for the variance, but this would ultimately fall under the supervision of the production supervisor. A marketing director and a purchasing agent would have little to no direct involvement in the production process and would not be responsible for a quantity variance.
