Transportation Turnaround

摘要

Cummins designs, manufactures, distributes, and services power engines and related technologies. Its approximately 5,200 dealer locations and 500 company-owned and independent distributors serve customers in about 190 countries. Cummins leaders sought to gain better access to reliable transportation data and a network that operated in real time, particularly on the outbound side. They also aimed to gain visibility into inbound shipments from the supply base. The organization's existing transportation management system (TMS) did not provide enough information to drive critical decisions, so suppliers were not fully motivated to find better efficiencies. This resulted in little control and an inadequate view of Cummins's network and data.
