Service Stations
PUMPING STANDARDS
Service stations are a fundamental part of companies focused on the processing, marketing, storage and distribution of petroleum products.
In order to compete in the market, it is essential to have a reliable operator with recognized quality and service standards. To achieve this, it is necessary to reduce fuel shortages, control product inventory, measure the level of fuel for sale, standardize service at all stations, have an effective preventive maintenance plan, generate operating procedures, follow up on daily sales and have an active supervision model. All this must be based on effective, productive and low-cost organizational structures.
