Manufacturing Operations For perspective on our areas of environmental focus at the facility level, a general description of the manufacturing operations by business unit follows. Cummins Engine: Within the Cummins Engine Business, manufacturing facilities employees conduct product design, research and development, engine manufacturing and engine and component reconditioning. Engine assembly facilities perform engine block and component machining, assembly, painting, alkaline bath parts washing and engine performance testing. Product design and engine testing are the primary operations in the research and development technical centers where production processes are limited. Engine testing is conducted in stationary test stands or cells, where product performance information is measured as engines run at various duty cycles. Test cells also are used for certification testing to ensure products meet emissions requirements. Rebuild/ reconditioning facilities perform engine tear-down and reassembly, using alkaline parts washing processes. Cummins Components: The Components Group includes four separate business units; Cummins Filtration, Cummins Fuel Systems, Cummins Turbo Technologies and Cummins Emission Solutions. Facility operations primarily involve filtration and exhaust product design, research and development, filter, and exhaust component assembly, and product distribution and warehousing. Key operations conducted among the Components Group divisions include filter, fuel systems, turbocharger and exhaust 60 Cummins Inc. 2007 Sustainability Report component assembly, metal stamping, tube bending and component machining, welding, product assembly, painting and performance testing. Cummins Power Generation: Cummins Power Generation Business facility operations primarily involve product design, research and development, alternator manufacturing, assembly of generator sets, switchgear and controls and product testing. Alternator manufacturing facilities perform component machining, lamination stamping, rotor and stator winding, resin impregnation and alternator assembly. Assembly facilities perform housing fabrication, genset assembly, switchgear and controls assembly, painting, alkaline bath parts washing and genset performance testing. Product design and performance testing are conducted in the research and development technical centers. Genset testing is conducted in stationary test stands/cells, where product performance information is measured while gensets are run at various duty cycles. Test cells also are used for certification testing to ensure products meet emissions requirements. Waste Streams The primary waste streams generated at Cummins manufacturing facilities include waste paint and associated materials, paint filters, wastewater sludge and filter cake, machine coolant, used oil and resins. Metals and metal parts that cannot be reconditioned for re-use in Cummins products are salvaged for off-site recycling, as are used oils. Other waste streams include filter media and resins. At most facilities, machine coolant is recycled until ineffective and ultimately added to the wastewater stream for pretreatment prior to discharge to public treatment works.
Direct Emission Sources Emissions Type Emissions Sources Stationary Combustion Sources �� This table identifies the sources of direct GHG emissions that are associated with Cummins’ manufacturing, assembly, and distribution operations. Environmental Performance Measures Reporting Sites Cummins has collected key environmental sustainability measures from our facilities for many years, focusing on operations with the greatest potential environmental impact. Measures were originally implemented and reported internally in an effort to identify environmental performance improvement opportunities. Data has subsequently been aggregated for inclusion in Cummins’ Sustainability Report and other reporting initiatives. Because of Cummins’ participation in the EPA’s Climate Leaders Program and its comprehensive GHG inventory scope requirements, the number of sites taking part in data gathering has broadened significantly. In future years, all of Cummins- controlled sites worldwide will provide data for all applicable sustainability indicators irrespective of facility size and operational scope. For the purposes of this report, measures data have been compiled �� 6 �� 2 �� from two different data sets, which are indicated in the following sections of this report. The full complement of sustainability metrics, including water use, recycled materials, commodities and wastes, as well as fuels and electrical power usage and their associated direct and indirect emissions included herein were derived from 53 manufacturing and large non-manufacturing sites. These include several large joint venture facilities that are not under Cummins’ operational control. Fuels, electricity and other GHG sources and emissions were collected from all facilities, irrespective of size or function, where Cummins maintains operational control and therefore are in scope of our Climate Leaders GHG reduction commitment. The present population of sites in scope of Climate Leaders is 229 facilities. Greenhouse gas and other fuel/energy related emissions from Cummins’ unconsolidated joint venture businesses are not included in this report. Environment 61
