Control boards are used to monitor key performance indicators of an organization. They can display information such as planned vs completed work, staff absences, costs, and production levels. Control boards are analogous to a car's dashboard and provide a way to view and control how an organization is functioning. Examples of control boards include general boards with indicators from different areas and specific boards like an annual budget board tracking planned vs actual spending.

WHAT ARE THE CONTROL PANELS AND WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
• The control boards from the point of view of the management, are
blackboards, computer screens or projections of these, where a set of KIP
indicators (by its acronym in English: Key Performance Indicator) that
represent the organizational parameters are shown.
• To better understand the concept, we can make an analogy with the
dashboard of a car, which for example generally indicate engine
temperature, fuel levels, vehicle speed, etc.
• Within an organization, these indicators (graphics) are used to control the
functioning of the organization, such as planned work, absenteeism, costs,
production, financial situation, etc.

• As an example, the indicators can be represented as follows:
Works carried out according to the planned works.
Absences of the staff.

• In order to monitor the parameters that most affect the organization,
indicators such as those presented are developed, which grouped together
form a control panel like the following (only by way of example):

• Finally, the Control Panels can be general as the previous case (showing
indicators of different areas) or specific to a particular area such as the
following Budget Control Board:

$ Planned vs. $ Spent
Difference between money planned and money spent
Causes that affected the budget execution
