Operationally Intuitive Logistics Dashboards for Supply Chain Management in Oil and Gas Based on Human Cognition

Abstract

Due to globalization over the past two decades, the importance for companies to have appropriate supply chain management (SCM) has intensified substantially. The real-time connectedness and sharing of data has created a unique opportunity to design software programs for the purpose of improving elements of operations in the supply chain (SC), both upstream and downstream. As a result of these progresses, dashboards have been designed to facilitate transparency, with the purpose of providing a better overview of a specific operation. We argue there is room for improvement within the field of dashboards for decision making by making the user and their experience the core of the dashboard design and tapping into the cognition processing of the brain to optimize the user friendliness.
