Report: Cummins making layoffs in streamlining

Cummins is making reductions in its workforce, according to a report from the Indianapolis Business Journal. The paper yesterday said that the Columbus-based engine manufacturer is making changes in line with its Destination Zero goal but company officials did not say how many employees it is letting go. A company spokeswoman told the journal that the process is streamlining how the company manages its business, simplifying and clarifying how it works to better position it for the future.

Last fall, Cummins Chair and CEO Jennifer Rumsey said that the company would be taking steps this year to reduce costs and employees. That included a voluntary retirement and separation program.
