Cummins Launches Global Logistics Hub
in Singapore
Cummins Inc opened its Global Logistics Hub in Sin- gapore recently, one of the company’s eight master distribution centres for parts and filters globally. The Singapore Global Logistics Hub boasts a total investment of US$5.4 million and is said to be part of Cummins’ efforts to en- hance its aftermarket product delivery globally. The Singapore Global Logistics Hub will serve markets including the US, Eu- rope, China, India as well as customers across the Northeast and Southeast Asia regions.
Teo Ser Luck, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, graced the opening event at the CWT Pandan Logistics Centre, where the Singapore Global Logistics Hub occupies two floors with a total surface area of 275,000 square feet. The Singapore Global Logistics Hub is a consolidation of operations from three distribution centres in Singapore. With the new facility, Cummins says it will see a 20 per cent boost in productivity, faster order fulfilment time and operation cost savings.
Doug Sunkel, Executive Director – Cummins Global Logistics, said: “The establishment of the Cummins Global Logistics Hub in Singapore is a reinforcement of our global master dis- tribution hub strategy and a reflection of our commitment to customers. There are currently eight master distribution hubs in the world – Singapore, Mexico, Brazil, India, Belgium, Chi- na and two in the United States of America – supporting our international network and customers’ businesses that span over 190 countries and territories. Singapore is a world-class global logistics hub with a strong advantage of being at the heart of Southeast Asia and sitting right across the major ship- ping lanes. Leveraging the global connectivity and strategic location of Singapore, Cummins will continue to enhance our capabilities in this part of the world to support the increasing needs of our customers.”
The Singapore Global Logistics Hub has a ‘meticulously de- signed’ layout that aims to enhance operations safety. It boasts a three-tier mezzanine storage system with in-rack sprinklers to strengthen fire protection, a vehicle-restraint system and material-handling equipment with cameras and motion sen- sors, for added operations safety. Also, the warehouse is said to adopts a ‘best-in-class’ management system and barcode technology in a radio frequency (RF) environment, to control and optimise material flow. With an increase in the facility’s height and introduction of a smart-slotting strategy, space utili- sation is boosted by 30 per cent. Cummins says the new fea- tures of the facility are in line with its commitment to provide its employees with safe working environments.
The move was completed in two months with no impact or delays to its operations.
