The MyParker forums are a new system developed by Parker as a one-stop shop for pricing guides, facility updates, lead times, and more. Plus, we talk some strategic pricing and how Sheila has been involved with the process for years. Also, what does Sheila plan to do, now that her kids are out of the house? Find out here on PPMP!

On today's episode, we invite Nate Machacek into the studio. Nate is the division quality manager of the Pump & Motor Division, and is a Parker lifer. The Parker Hannifin brand is synonymous with quality, and that reputation is hard earned by people like Nate. We will discuss how Parker creates that level of quality, what strategies are used at PMD to make the best products, and a little bit about Mr. Machacek himself. All this and more on season 1's penultimate episode of PPMP.

On this episode of PPMP, we're veering away from the world of engineering and marketing, and into the world of supply chain.
