can't you just drop the awkward tableaux de bord
Explanation:
and just translate "quality performance indicators" to be monitored. This is all part of Business Intelligence anyway, and whether you use tableaux de bord or not is irrelevant, what you want is the performance indicators and monitor them, and act on them.

I mean by this that people like Peoplesoft, SAP and so on, just mention that you need to be able to have the key performance indicators in a convenient format, and look at them, and decide what to do next.

Explanation:
Although the term is originally French (I think), the calque has arrived in English, and is used by all the MIS software companies - Siebel, SAS etc. ...
The meaning is of course a snapshot of key indicators.
