What is ERP– Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business management software—not typically a suite of

integrated applications—that a company can use to collect, store, manage and interpret data from many business activities, including:

Product planning, cost Manufacturing or service delivery Marketing and sales Inventory management Shipping and payment

– ERP provides an integrated view of core business processes, often in real-time, using common databases maintained by a database management system. ERP systems track business resources—cash, raw materials, production capacity—and the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and payroll. The applications that make up the system share data across the various departments (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.) that provide the data. ERP facilitates information flow between all business functions, and manages connections to outside stakeholders.

Introduction

A lubricant is a substance introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. It may also have the function of transmitting forces, transporting foreign particles, or heating or cooling the surfaces. The property of reducing friction is known as lubricity.

The lubricant plant or Lube Oil Blending Plant of Mobil Oil produces lubricants for machines in industry and shipping and for engines in lorries, cars and aircraft. Hundreds of different lubricants are blended from base oils, a refinery product, and special additives. Each lubricant has its own method of preparation and specifications. All the lubricants are tested in the company's laboratory. After approval, the lubricants are packaged in drums, tins and bottles for shipment to the clients. Some lubricants are also shipped in bulk by tanker or ship. The packaged products are put into temporary storage pending transport to the clients.

Lubrication Plant

A person has to keep the record of everything that happens which require extensive work to be done. And if something happens to the records written on the register you cannot recover it. Beside this each record is again written for maintaining accounts information. Since manual work was done, so there may chances occur that you may record wrong information.
