How do executives in a HQ(headquarter) of a company supervise the company without even staying in the places of factories where work is going on (warehouses, factories, etc)?

As everyone else has been saying it’s all in the numbers. Generally a too level boss (CEO, CFO, EVP) is going to be focused on top level issues, like how the company should move forward or what they should do to stay ahead of their competition, and on maintaining the current things the company is doing, with VPs focused on each aspect.
As an example, I used to drive for a delivery company, so I would be told each day what to deliver and where. My supervisor made sure I did my job and talked to me if there were issues; his boss (the manager) would take to him if our depot was not making enough deliveries on time; the manager was in charge of several supervisors, if one of the depot’s continued to do poorly, her boss, the territory manager would talk to her. The territory manager reported to the VP of transportation about how all of his managers territories we’re doing. The VP of transportation would then explain to the CFO and CEO why his territory managers needed more money to run things better and what they could expect to get for a certain amount of money. The CEO and EVPs decide if transportation, or storage, or sales or marketing or a new business would get more money or if the drivers need to start dropping off flyers with each delivery. Those decisions then make the opposite trip down the chain until everyone who needs to know knows.
