Software for Lubricant Manufacturing
Blending to formulation where base oil price moves constantly and packs range from sachets to bulk tankers.
Lubricant blending is a formulation business with a commodity input. Base oil moves with the market, additives are expensive and precise, and the same blend ships in packs ranging from a sachet to a tanker. Margin depends on recosting as inputs move and on knowing what each pack size actually costs to fill.
What gets in the way
- Base oil price moves and finished pricing does not follow
- Additive dosing is precise and its cost is spread across the blend
- The same blend in different packs is costed as one product
- Bulk and packed dispatch have different documentation and are handled the same way
- Returned drums and containers are not tracked
What the software handles
- Blend formula costed at current input prices
- Batch records capturing actual dosing against the formula
- Pack-level costing separating fill and packaging from blend
- Bulk dispatch documentation handled separately from packed
- Returnable containers tracked per customer
What changes
- Margin visible at today's base oil price, not last quarter's
- Pack economics understood individually
- Container fleet attrition measured rather than absorbed
- Dosing recorded rather than assumed to match the formula
