1 supervise: "To oversee" is to watch something closely to make sure that an activity is done correctly. Example: As head architect, I oversaw the construction of the skyscraper from start to finish. "To oversee" is a close synonym of "to supervise".
1 inspect: "To inspect (something)" is an official visit to check or verify standards. Example: My job is to inspect schools to make sure the teachers give the students enough homework. "To inspect" implies a one time activity performed by an external organization, whereas "to oversee" is a continuous process performed by a manager or supervisor.
1 perform: "To perform" is "to do a job" or "carry out (a task)". "To oversee" is not a synonym of "to perform".
2 fabrication: "To manufacture" is "to make" or "fabricate" goods in large quantities, usually using machinery. Example: This factory manufactures cars... and dreams!
2 repairs: "To repair" is "to fix" or "mend" something so that it functions correctly after being broken. "To repair" is not a synonym of "to manufacture".
2 billing: "To bill (someone)" is to charge someone money for services rendered. Example: My lawyer BILLED me 500 dollars for an hour of his time OR That woman billed me $500 for a massage.
3 factories: A "plant" is a "factory" or a place where an industrial process takes place. Example: a chemical plant, a manufacturing plant, a car plant.
3 warehouses: A "warehouse" is a place where products are stored, usually before they are sent to shops to be sold. Unlike "plants" or "factories", products are not fabricated in warehouses.
3 greenhouses: A greenhouse is a building made from glass where plants and flowers grow! A "greenhouse" and a "(manufacturing) plant" are sadly two very different things!
