Abstract

The control center of industry is a place where information of various types and origins circulates following a causality of processes expected from industrial project. The high complexity of indicators indicating the state of the equipment, processes and products requires a process man interface adaptable to the level of risk and the cognitive ability to control the process in situations of normalcy or in critical situations with risk of accidents. The study on the influence of regional culture and customs that use a cross-matrix between regional cultural characteristics can help to find their typical behaviors, the impact on cognitive loss, the identification of weaknesses and probable failures in the design of Control Rooms, and the respective critical interfaces of the man with the process. This article discusses the need to associate the situation or perceived scenario of normality, deviation, failure or loss of a certain productive process with the cognitive characteristics of individual or group functions.
