Cummins Purchasing

Cummins Inc. separates the products and services purchased from suppliers into two categories:

Indirect is defined as all services and any products that are not assembled and shipped to an end customer (including tooling, chemicals, machinery, computers, gauges, packaging, training, real estate, and prototypes, etc.)

Direct is defined as all products that are manufactured and assembled into a product which is directly shipped to a customer (includes engine components, filters, turbochargers, generators, alternators, etc.)

Both are essential to Cummins, and both types of spending represent billions of dollars in investment on a yearly basis.

The Cummins Purchasing organization is responsible for initiating the search for suppliers as needs arise, using accepted standards for fair and equitable sourcing processes.
