In an ideal manufacturing setting, the order goes thus;

Office Clerk/Receptionist

Secretary to General Manager should be superior to the Clerk because technical tasks are to be assigned by the GM compared to a Clerk.

Officer( procurement & hse) both of them hold officer positions.

Supervisor/Foreman. This is the head of production. he has direct oversight over casual workers.

However, things are not always normal in every organisation. Atimes Secretary to GM might be very powerful as the person might be conferred some level of authority by the GM. More so, such persons have access to some information which gives them leverage over other staffs regarding daily running of the organisation. Other times, even when not given the authority, some secretary just start to boss around in the office as second in charge/asst. GM.

Procurement officer in some cases might be more superior to HSE officer because he relates with vendors/suppliers which might position him for more respect from the management.

HSE officer most times work directly with casual worker and if he is the type that is overfriendly, it might be so easy to casualise him based on his function.

This is no one right answer as every organisation have their peculiarity.
