Panel engineers

Image
On 14th and 15th August, I visited one very big petroleum plant and interviewed several panel engineers in the control rooms. I noticed that several judgments of the engineers based on the panel data The panels are like: . They observe, monitor changes and take control operations. During the operations, they give priority on quality control, safety and others. Slight delay or poor calibrations can create huge loss (crore in terms of rupees) of the company. Other problems are job is monotonous and under their capacity utilization. This results high attrition rate. In other words, executive functions of working memory and attitudes play critical role in job success and company excellence. Is any body here who are doing researches on job or ability taxonomy of panel engineers ? Some survey was conducted but not related to individual or team productivity. So, the survey results are not very much conclusive.
