As a worldwide provider of electrical generators and power generation systems, components and services in standby power, distributed power generation, as well as auxiliary power, Cummins Power Generation is focused on ensuring operational efficiency within each area of its business to offset shrinking margins and improve profitability and productivity. Serving customers in approximately 190 countries and territories through a network of more than 500 company-owned and independent distributors and approximately 5,200 dealers, Cummins Power Generation aimed for significant profitable growth by leveraging its leadership position, global capabilities, and expansion into adjacent markets. It was imperative that the company continue to enhance operational performance at its existing facilities across various geographies. Logistics and Manufacturing—which consists of more than 600 end users—represents a significant part of Cummins Power Generation’s workforce. As such, the company knew that if it could reduce costs, improve productivity, and streamline processes in this business area, it would realize a quick return on investment (ROI). Oracle Warehouse Management, therefore, became a crucial component of the company’s enterprise application initiative. Cummins Power Generation needed a scalable warehouse management system (WMS) to maximize its labor utilization, space, and equipment investments. After evaluating another vendor’s solution, Cummins Power Generation decided to deploy Oracle Warehouse Management with the help of Infosys because the product integrated seamlessly with Cummins’ inventory, manufacturing, and shipping systems.
