Cummins Turbo Technologies Limited is a specialist in the design and manufacture of turbochargers for medium and heavy commercial diesel engines. In support of its Six Sigma programme, aimed at cutting lead times and improving customer deliveries, Cummins Turbo Technologies implemented Wesupply.com.
Wesupply.com automatically communicates demand information daily from the existing ERP system at Cummins to suppliers via the web, translating, delivering and reporting electronic transactions. Suppliers at every point in the supply chain have real time access to Cummins' requirements so they can react more efficiently and effectively. Stripping out time, costs and inventory and improving product deliveries to customers resulted in a 22% reduction in working capital and a saving of approximately £80,000 per annum in stock losses.
