Cummins Engine Kits

Garages that use Cummins engine kits need to conserve resources through proper planning. A team of mechanics performs oil changes, parts replacements and engine rebuilds in confined spaces daily. Owners of garages and repair shops need to organize inventories, schedules and workspaces to juggle diesel-maintenance tasks.

The ability to service Cummins engine and commercial equipment depends on a sound organization system. The following methods can help garage owners preserve Cummins parts and kits while completing daily projects:

• Computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS)
• Daily meetings
• Project-team organization

Manage Cummins Engine Kits in Busy Garages

Construction companies, city shops and other closed garages use CMMS to track regular maintenance of Cummins engines. The advantage of CMMS over other programs is the ability of garage owners to program work orders based on reported mileage by fleet vehicles. It is important for garage owners to develop backup organizational tools to account for emergency rebuilds and other projects.

The importance of all-staff meetings at the beginning of each day cannot be overstated. Mechanics, office staff and drivers can discuss shop issues in an open forum. The coordination of special projects, including Cummins engine rebuilds and extensive diagnostic testing, in informal settings eases pressure off of computerized systems.

Some garages have divided workspaces and repair areas to facilitate industrial vehicles. These individualized spaces should be used as team-project spaces in which mechanics are assigned to specific vehicle and engine types each day. These spaces should have spare parts, kits and other materials needed to repair engines by Cummins and other manufacturers.

Internet Diesel sells Cummins engine kits and parts to companies throughout North America. These parts are covered by two-year manufacturer warranties that cover defects occurring during normal operations.
