Optimization of Remanufacturing Operations through Mechanization and Technology
The Cummins New & Recon Parts (NRP) division specializes in remanufacturing; a complex enterprise of restoring used parts back to new part specifications. The NRP division wanted to improve the economic viability of their operations by: 1) identifying opportunities for automation at two plants in the U.S. and Mexico and then scaling globally to apply to all eight division plants, and 2) sorting the incoming parts to avoid non-value-added labor and inventory costs.
