Cummins Turbo Technologies Ltd. Supports Growth, Cuts Costs With Integrated Global Order Management

Overview From its manufacturing plants in the United Kingdom, United States, Brazil, India, and China, Cummins Turbo Technologies Ltd. The company wanted to meet the growing demand for turbochargers in EMEA by sourcing components and finished products from production plants in Asia, the Americas, and the United Kingdom and source items from lower-cost countries to boost profitability. The challenge was to keep order cycle times for globally sourced items within levels in customer Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to avoid penalties. The company replaced the company's disparate, standalone regional order management systems with a single global solution based on Oracle Order Management, Oracle Inventory Management, and Oracle Financials.
