The document suggests supervisory staff must clarify who is accountable for the execution of each given order, record and report to the Chief of Staff about any given order, monitor the progress of incomplete orders and confirm the execution of each order. The document also provides an introduction to the existing filing system and the procedures for making a request or a representation.
