ABSTRACT
This project attempts to computerize fuel distribution system
of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Apata, Ibadan. This
project is aimed at designing an automated system to ensure the distribution of
fuel to the desired destination thereby leading to a more efficient, accurate
and faster method in distributing fuel when the need arises. The propose system
ensures adequate fuel distribution.
The programming language that will be used to develop this
package is Visual basic due to its object oriented nature and also makes use of
iconic interface that present information as picture instead of texts and
numbers. The sale and production managers were interviewed to obtained
information. Books are read to acquire more useful information.
The program was tested with carefully selected input data and
produced efficient result and thereby recommended for use by NNPC Apata,
Ibadan.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Over the years, computer has served a
vital tool for the prevision of information in business organizations today.
There is hardly any serious business
organization today that does not make use of computer in its day business activities
computer are used in banking operation engineering design, research work are
fuel distribution. It is common knowledge that the application of computer in
various organizational activities has help to improve the efficiency of
operation and the overall performance of organizations. This basically can be
attributed to the speed, accuracy and storage capacity of the computer.
Distribution of fuel like any other
setup, requires a lot of computer processing before fuel can be adequately distributed.
This process include gathering of information to be used by management.
The advert of computer blew a breeze
of change across the sections of this procedure thereby affected are the
account department, production department and sales department. Distribution
comes under the sales department, this department has always been neglected
because of the computer used for processing.
This department remain vital aspect
of the organization since the corporation source income depends largely on the
effective distribution and this had necessitated the selected of this topic
“Distribution System”.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Due to lack of prompt
information retrieval and time wastage in dealing with the society or group
that manages this distribution of fuel and inquiry are no longer capable of
effective handling the tremendous information about fuel.
1.3
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The ultimate aim of this project is
to computerize fuel distribution procedure. This is to increase the efficiency
of fuel distribution. This project will open avenue on how the computer can be
fully utilized in distribution of fuel in respect of improving the present
activates using computer. The objective include:
1. To reduce the rate of data manipulation,
and to improve the performance of the system.
2. To reduce the usage of file this could
affect the daily production and sales information adversely.
3. To speed up the process of fuel
distribution and have better control of the activities/ procedure.
4. To ensure proper functioning of all units
and department within the system.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE PROJECT
The distribution of fuel has been pf
immense importance to the society and the depot which include the following:
1. The availability fuel has eased
transportation in society.
2. Cooking has become easier in the society,
due to the production other product such as kerosene.
3. The rate of consumption of fuel by the
society as served as a means of generating income to the management of the
depot.
4. It has enable the management to increase
its product.
1.5 SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
This project focuses the
process of computerizing all the processing of fuel distribution for convince
and to avoid complexity a particular depot, Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation(NNPC), Ibadan has been chosen as the case study.
Also, the project also
take care of the cost of litres, and issued out to various filling station, the
program will perform the following tasks.
1. It will allow for percentage allocation
for each filling station to be input when necessary.
2. The
total allocation for each filling station will be displayed.
3. The
total quantity of fuel supplied and demanded will be displayed.
1.6 LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT
This
project prototype software which demonstrate how fuel can be distributed to
various units. It can used on stand alone system also;
Exorbitant
financial implication is involved in using other oil company which cannot be
afforded.
