Lean Manufacturing Techniques
and “ Cost Outs”
Throughout its 200+ manufacturing operations, Parker
employs “lean” — a systematic methodology for elimi-
nation of waste. Basic “lean rules” are present in all
Parker factories, including value stream mapping,
one-piece flow manufacturing, visual controls, kaizen
events, internal kanban, and concurrent engineering.
ISO, QS, and other certifications are also in place.
Parker is pleased to work with its customers to identify
possible wastes in their own manufacturing processes
to generate “cost out” ideas.
Technology Leadership
Technology has long been at the heart of Parker’s
success. At a corporate level, Parker Central Engineering
leads the way. Using computer simulation and other
techniques, our army of engineers design peak perfor-
mance into flow control, pneumatic, hydraulic, electro-
mechanical, magnetic, thermal, and refrigeration
systems.
The Climate and Industrial Controls Group boasts its
own array of technology resources: a dedicated Applied
Technology Center; test ammonia rigs and supermarket
racks; environmental chambers; vibration, burst, and
impulse testing units; a fuel cell business unit; and
design engineering staff at every division. The results
are clear — more than 150 patents in climate and
control technology over the past 40 years.
