About CRM Model
The CRM is a distribution system in which a consumer brings an empty cylinder to an exchange point in return for a filled cylinder, and the empty one is taken to a bottling plant, filled, and brought back for pick up by other consumers.
The model, NPA has emphasized was designed to reduce accidents at gas filling points in communal and residential areas.
