A line manager, sometimes called a direct manager, is a person who directly manages other employees and is responsible for the administrative management of the individual as well as the functional management. If someone refers to their "boss" they mean the individual who is their line manager.

A manager of direct reports is most likely a CEO. Direct reports need to be managed so that business objectives are met, but those in high management can also hear the feedback of workers.

Prepositions commonly used with "rendering" are "into," "of," and "for." For example, "rendering of a scene," "rendering into a 3D model," or "rendering for architectural design."

Factory manager is not directly related to the production of units of product so it is not direct labor cost but it is included in overhead costs.
