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)?

Delegation and reports. A high level executive isn’t going to hang out in the steel mill watching to make sure everyone does their jobs. Instead the workers will have a manager on site who does that. That manager will report to the mill boss, who in turn reports to a district manager in charge of a bunch of mills, and then the district managers will report to the high level executive.
On the high level they care about how all the mills are doing in the sense of hitting their expected productivity. They don’t know or care if Bob is slacking on the production line, they care if the mill is underperforming.
Each level of that chain of command only reports to those above them and directs those below them. If a mill is underperforming then the district manager will chew out the mill boss and get them to fix the problem. The district manager doesn’t know or care that it is Bob’s fault, figuring that out is delegated down the chain.
