Process improvement should be a responsibility of Business Representative/Manager. People down the line keep on adjusting themselves with fault of process which in turn result in low efficiency and low productivity.

Well, whoever gets paid is responsible for process improvement. Process improvement has to be inculcated within by an individual. It is the group of individuals who form a team. It is these teams who for a goal. It is this goal that solves a business problem. It is for solving this business problem, an organization exists. So the buck stops at the individual. The individual can wear multiple hats in an organization. As long as the individual keeps improving by applying the right processes, the outcome optimization happens. Saving Changes...
It is a responsibility of the whole organization. Everybody needs to think about it and plays a role. Quality/Process/... departments can manage, lead and facilitate the improvement initiative. Even though they may run the initiative themselves, they definitely need the help of others. Saving Changes...

Process improvement must be everybody´s responsibility. Not only the involved. Even the new employees can have a tip or a different perspective to improve a process. This is not only for the Mighty Godly Handcrafted High Administration. Kaizen. To answer your question both should work together as a team to improve process. (Silos should disappear). EA.
Absolutely agree that process improvement is everybody's responsibility. However it will be much helpful if there is a team to monitor on the process improvement activities and ensure the end to end process as well as process standardization across all other departments or sub divisions within same company.
There will be incidents where everyone busy on their own process improvement, but they do not aware that the process changed or improved is actually impact the next process where belongs to other team or departments. Saving Changes...
