KPIs in logistics are key indicators to measure the evolution of the company and execute continuous improvement actions. This series of data, ratios, and percentages constitute a solid base on which to support our decision-making to achieve logistical excellence, by identifying with greater accuracy the opportunities for improvement to know the problem areas on time and understand the low yields. To ensure that the KPIs fulfill the purpose of generating a practical tool for all logistics professionals who wish to effectively control each of the operations that are implicit in the processes, their integration with the dashboards is necessary. This integration makes it possible to reflect through the graphic representation the KPIs involved in achieving the objectives of a strategy proposed by the company. In addition, this study allows an analysis through neutrosophic statistics and TOPSIS analysis to determine the factors that affect the delivery of products to the customer and determine the possible alternatives based on the use of the logistics KPIs integrated into the dashboard.

The sociogram is a technique of sociometry widely used in the field of sociology due to its simplicity and effectiveness. The purpose of this method is the graphical visualization of the relationships among the members of a social group. The sociogram has been extended to the fuzzy framework to include uncertainty in the so-called fuzzy sociograms. However, there could be indeterminate relationships among some members of the group, because they have not experience in performing some activities together, although potentially either future links or disagreements could be established among them. In this paper, we propose a neutrosophic sociogram, which allows representing the indeterminacies in the relationships among some members of a group. The advantage of neutrosophic sociograms over fuzzy sociograms is that the representation and calculation considering indeterminacy, allow us to achieve greater accuracy in the results, and a greater approach to the potentialities of the group in terms of the future bond among the members. A hypothetical example is proposed to illustrate the applicability of the method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a decision-making technique that has been widely studied and developed by the scientific community. The interest in this tool is because it combines scientific rigor with the simplicity of its application. Additionally, it has been extended to uncertainty frameworks, such as fuzzy and neutrosophic frameworks. This paper aims to define a new method called NAHP+NSC, where the Neutrosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process (NAHP) is combined with the recently introduced Neutrosophic Social Choice (NSC) theory. Neutrosophy incorporates indeterminacy to both the AHP technique and the SC theory, which is an intrinsic condition of any decision-making process. On the other hand, it is possible to count on a group of experts to carry out the NAHP evaluations, where the chosen alternative is the one with the highest votes. Experts are divided into kind of homogeneous sub-groups called Interest Groups (IG), where each IG conjointly evaluates the proposed alternatives, and then tools of NSC are used for choosing the best alternative. The contribution of this new method is that evaluations and results are more accurate when indeterminacy is incorporated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
