Designing Analytical Dashboards for Real-Time Warehouse Performance

Course Overview

Most procurement disputes about real-time warehouse dashboards originate in a specification written too quickly. Inventory tied up in this aspect of procurement and supply operations is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this part of procurement and supply operations hard in practice. It establishes a shared vocabulary for real-time warehouse dashboards so that teams can disagree productively about it. The professional literature on this aspect of procurement and supply operations converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The content is relevant to those who own the procurement and supply operations capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. They acquire practical criteria for judging when real-time warehouse dashboards is working and when it is only appearing to. A common pattern is strong design of the practice within procurement and supply operations paired with weak follow-through. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of procurement and supply operations broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
