At Cummins Inc. we use Six Sigma in innovative ways to
help us improve the quality of our products, make our
processes as efficient as possible and reduce costs in all
departments. Six Sigma has enabled Cummins to save or
avoid costs of more than $1 billion since its inception in
2000.
Six Sigma – as a quality improvement and cost reduction
tool – is now deeply ingrained in the Cummins culture. We
use Six Sigma on manufacturing processes, risk management,
design of new products and in working with customers.
We would like to extend an invitation to the Columbus area
business community to see how we have made Six Sigma work
at Cummins. On May 8, 40 of the top Six Sigma projects
will be showcased in an Expo at the Columbus Engine Plant.
These projects represent the best of all Six Sigma
projects completed in 2006 and have been honored with the
Chairman’s Six Sigma Quality Award.
At the Expo, you will have a chance to see how we apply
the tools of Six Sigma to manufacturing, accounting,
finance and other processes. These are tools that have
helped to transform Cummins and we would like to share
with you.
Here are the details:
