Since 2012, Cummins has established four regional distribution centers in Shenyang, Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai, aiming to fully enhance Cummins’ component supply capabilities in the Chinese domestic market. It refers directly to the issue of efficiency of joint ventures that suffer the most.
Liu Xiaoxing told reporters: "The parts distribution center mainly solves three problems, improving the availability of parts, rapid delivery, and reducing the total cost."

The relevant person in charge of the group stated: “Cummins actively communicated with us to improve various logistics issues and cooperated with the upgrade of our company's procurement system. The delivery time of the parts was reduced from the previous 15 days to 5 days, which made us very satisfied."
After the establishment of the regional parts distribution center, Cummins's response to customers has been greatly accelerated. The satisfaction rate of one order has increased from 80% to 90%, and the overall satisfaction rating of logistics services has increased by 30%.

Passive to active service upgrade
The establishment of regional distribution centers to increase the availability of parts is only one aspect. Cummins' efforts in after-sales service have more initiatives.
