## Overview

A genset assembler needed a reliable supply of 6-cylinder diesel engines in the 100–200 kW class to build standby and prime-power units for rental fleets and construction sites.

## Challenge

The customer required consistent engine specifications across batches, engine-alternator matching data, and monthly shipments with predictable lead times to support their production plan.

## Solution

| Item | Model | Qty |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Diesel engine (genset spec) | Cummins 6BT, 1500 rpm G-drive configuration | 20 |
| Diesel engine (genset spec) | Cummins 6CTA8.3, 1500 rpm G-drive configuration | 15 |
| Accessories | Radiators, engine control panels, flywheel housings SAE 3 / SAE 2 | 35 sets |
| Spares | Consumables kits for the first 500 hours | 35 sets |

## Scope of supply

Batch scheduling, pre-shipment inspection of each batch with serial-number list, engine test reports, sea-worthy pallet packing in 40 ft containers, FOB Shanghai, and monthly stock updates.

## Outcome

Three batches were delivered over a nine-month period on schedule. The assembler has moved to a rolling forecast so engines are reserved from stock ahead of each build cycle.
