Overview: This case study pertains to the inventory management system developed by Cummins Engine Co. in conjunction with a Chicago-based management-consulting firm. It says that during the eight-month trial period, the new approach decreased required inventory investment by 38% while increasing overall parts availability from 81% to 91%. Distributor management reports that they achieved the highest return on assets in their 28-year history. This case study is about the optimizer concept and how it's being used successfully at Cummins Mid-States Power. But it's also a study in how a manufacturer can work in partnership with its dealers and outside suppliers for the ultimate benefit of the customer.
