Who reports to who in this manufacturing department?
Asked by Pie55
I have to make an organizational chart but I don't know who reports to who and hope if you guys can help me. Plant manager, 5 forepersons, secretary, equipment supervisor, engineer, 3 materials distributors, production supervisor, 5 equipment mechanics, 3 utility service persons, 100 production workers Please help me put this in order.

Best Answer:
if there is only one secretary usually works for the top person. The engineer placement depends on the job description. I have some doubts where engineer falls in the org chart, depends on type of work I assumes engineer was technical support and so might work for the top person Usually supports staff members are not shown as being at the same level and in the same tree as these that are managers or supervisors, but put off to the side of the person they work for Also when there is only one person who is below another, usually one or the other is not needed, so rarey do you have just one person supervisoring one other person. Plant manager's (support staff) -- secretary, -- engineer Plant manager (supervises) > equipment supervisor, > production supervisor equipment supervisor, (supervisers) >>5 equipment mechanics, >>3 utility service persons (possible that these are working for the engineer instead, depending on the type of engineer, I assume they do not), production supervisor >> 3 materials distributors >> 5 forepersons forepersons >>>100 production workers ( split amoung the five)
