Supervisors are given resources in the form of equipment, material and personnel to produce planned output according specified processes. Thus they get authority to utilize the resources and they direct the operators and staff under them by allocating them material and equipment. This delegation of authority over resources given to them by their superiors or managers carries with it the responsibility to carry out processes to produce planned output.
According to F.W. Taylor for the success of the task undertaken by any person 50% responsibility is with the frontline person and 50% is the management supporting him. So, in relation to an operator, the success of the task depends up to 50% on the supervisor. In turn the supervisor's task is shared 50 - 50 between and his superior. At every stage every person who receives an instruction to executive a task has to become accountable for doing it. Unless he does the task as instructed, organization will suffer.
