2. THE PROBLEM AD Plans, organizes, monitors and control the services previously through SAP R3 based upon the manual delivery notes prepared during the fuelling operations. Quantity of delivery was measured through physical meters through mechanical registers which show the volume dispensed through totalizer and batch count. MANUAL OPERATIONS OF THE APRON FUEL DELIVERY KEPT AT LARGE GAP BETWEEN THE SALES AND OPERATION TEAMS. The officer in charge of the fuelling operations had to call the client to verify the zero count on the physical meters and verify the start of fuelling operations. After completion of the operation the data was then manually recorded for the last totalizer reading, batch count, start – end time, flight name, and officer in-charge of the flight in four copies. Signature of the client was sought on the document and a copy of the same was given to client. The second copy was kept with AFS for records. Third copy was send to regional office for records. Fourth copy was send to accounts department for verification of delivery and further process. Manual operations of the Apron Fuel delivery kept a large gap between the sales and operations teams. AFS officers used to enter the data in SAP and generate invoices which where shipped by regional offices to the clients. AFS inputs data of which manages these services as cost center operations at various located airports. Public Sector Aviation Company in India Problem occurs in reconciliation of the entire supplies, against sales, performance, utility, maintenance of assets, and inventory of stocks. Chances of human errors in computing data, its verification, and results become a complicated process. A transparency was needed for the entire solution. SOLUTION As an effort to overcome above mentioned problems, BPCL-AD had decided to go for Automation of Data capture and process solution. Solution was been conceptualized to provide single integrated platform through which quantities of fuel delivery is captured in form of FDN. Looking to the different aspects of service process, requirements of AFS and availability of existing hardware, We have given integrated hardware & software solution which covers and integrates functionality of data capturing from physical meters, communicating the data to a data processing device, receiving schedules, client data from a centralized server, processing the FDN, updating the transaction of server, fetching FDN number from the server, printing the FDN, and reconciliation of data again with server. From our implemented software all fuelling in-charge officers selects client data which is then set for fuelling/ defueling operations, data is captured through a interface device from the meters automatically and updated to the data processing units, which after completion updates to the server and prints FDN. Through a web based interface the client is able to view all transactions completed until the time he has queried the server. Vehicles being valuable assets now can be monitored centrally benefiting for assessment of operations of AFS and control over inventory.
