Cummins Deploys Clarity Globally for Unified Project Management

Founded in the 1920s as an early developer of the diesel engine, Cummins has grown into a Fortune 500 company that designs, manufactures, sells, and services diesel and alternative fuel engines, along with related components and technology. With operations in more than 190 countries and territories, Cummins is a global leader in power solutions.

Cummins operates through four distinct but complementary business segments: Engine, Power Systems, Components, and Distribution. Each segment utilizes Clarity, supported by Rego Consulting, to manage their individual Clarity SaaS instances while maintaining a common core. For Cummins Power Systems, a key objective in their 18-month roadmap was to achieve a single version of truth for all project-related data across the globe. This required deploying Clarity across all Power Systems groups and retiring various legacy systems.

Cummins partnered with Rego Consulting to facilitate the global rollout of Clarity within the Power Systems Group. Rego provided comprehensive support by:

• Developing Documentation Capabilities: Created extensive documentation to capture information, track minutes, and generate issues from action items. Implemented a system for flagging and reporting on project items that required review under Lessons Learned.
• Designing a Quality Module: Developed a Quality Module with reporting functionality and a phased migration plan to seamlessly bring quality data from another tool into Clarity.
• Enhancing Risk Management: Revamped and enhanced risk management processes, ensuring that risks were consistently identified and mitigated.
• Standardizing Financial Data: Assisted in standardizing financial data within Clarity to ensure uniformity across all business segments.
• Conducting End-User Training: Provided comprehensive training to end users, focusing on change management and the adoption of new processes and tools.

With Rego Consulting’s expert guidance, Cummins successfully retired legacy systems and ensured seamless data continuity during the global rollout of Clarity across the Power Systems Group. Key benefits include:

• Unified Project Data: Cummins now has a single version of truth for all project-related data, allowing for detailed views into existing processes, risks, and action items.
• Smooth Adoption: The company’s robust documentation, Quality Module, and training programs have ensured that adoption is on track, helping Cummins meet their 18-month roadmap goal.
• Scalable Hosting: Cummins confidently hosts Clarity on AWS, benefiting from Broadcom’s quarterly upgrades, automated issue recovery, backups, and patching.

Through this global deployment, Cummins is well-positioned to manage its projects more effectively, ensuring that all business segments are aligned and operating with accurate, real-time data.
