I think that inmost departments that are impacted by quality there is usually not enough focus on the big picture. In most departments the main focus are the goals of the particular department. While the quality department would focus on keeping the entire company safe by following the rules set down by the FDA. Most other departments are motivated by their own department goals. I have worked in an environment where even working in other departments can get you in trouble. Department are only concerned with progressing their own agenda. I think that instinctively quality became one of their other department that could take away from one focusing on their own department goals. In addition to that, quality can even act as an hindrance to progressing the goals. Once all department can focus on their own agendas as well as understand the all the benefits of following the rules, or rather not have to deal with the consequences of not following the rules. There may be more harmony between quality and the other departments.
