Abstract

The study suggests a method of improving operational control at an agricultural enterprise in terms of informational support. The method involves dynamic and interactive information analysis panels (dashboards) as an instrument of information analysis support in choosing an optimal real-time solution by the work performer. The suggested approach was developed into a definite improvement pattern for production management at enterprises through introduction of modern information technologies; today it can be already implemented at existing farms. The study provides dashboards for selecting a machine-tractor unit by performance indicators and for building “A flowchart for performing a technological operation,” both implemented in the medium of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

The suggested interactive dynamic dashboards in the operational management of agricultural production facilitate rapid re-planning of technological operations by the work performer in real time, significantly reducing the time spent on the necessary calculations and improving their quality. It furthermore produces beneficial effects on the efficiency of production process control at enterprises. The results of evaluating the economic benefits of using the suggested dashboard technology in the operational management of agricultural production indicate an expediency of its implementation by an agricultural enterprise at the operational control level.
