Abstract
The effective maintenance management of fuel dispensing machines influences the quality of care delivered and the profitability of petroleum retailing facilities. Fuel dispensing machines maintenance in India lacks an objective prioritization system; consequently, the system is not sensitive to the impact of machine's downtime on petrol pump effectiveness and profitability. Through this paper, the existing computerized maintenance management system in petroleum sector was investigated, a list of its requirements was created, such a system was conceptually designed, and finally an objectoriented model was built based on the conceptual design. A conceptual design was created showing how the system will function when implemented. This design employed logical view and deployment view depicting the specific entities of the system and how these entities interact with one another. The operator can always add these views and they will be fully instructed on the proper methods for achieving this. With the completed model the developer will be able to generate skeletal code, in a variety of programming languages, which will further assist in the implementation process
