Once a requisition is filled out, the department supervisor signs it, files a copy by date, and gives the remaining two copies to the production foreman. If he approves the requisition, the production foreman reviews and signs the copies and gives them to the personnel manager. The personnel manager reviews the request with the division controller. They both sign the requisition if the request is justified and affordable. The pay rate for the job is also determined at that time and included on the requisition.
