CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Parker Aerospace, a business segment of Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control technologies, today announced that it hasreceived the top scorein airline customer satisfaction among maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) mechanical and electrical suppliers worldwide. The findings come from the third annual Air Transport Aftermarket Customer Satisfaction Survey conducted byInside MRO,Air Transport World, andAeroDynamic Advisory

Of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) ranked, only seven logged strong satisfaction scores. On a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the highest, those OEMs are:

This survey was conducted from mid-February to mid-May, with 185 qualified responses, including 62 unique airlines from around the world. OEMs were ranked in the following categories: ease of doing business, product reliability, technical support, parts cost, parts availability, aircraft-on-ground (AOG) support, OEM repair cost, OEM service center performance, overall satisfaction, and likelihood of recommending them to a peer or colleague.

Parker Aerospace improved year-over-year scores in ease of doing business, technical support, OEM repair cost, and OEM service center performance while also receiving the highest overall satisfaction score for mechanical/electrical suppliers in 2020. Most of the industry continues to show low net promoter scores (NPS) scores, like overall satisfaction, and Parkers NPS score has remained high among peers.

Lee Ann Shay, chief editor MRO, Aviation Week Network, reports in the July issueofInside MROthat, Parker Hannifin has been putting a premium on customer service in the last several years, which seems to resonate with its customer base. It has expanded its in-region supportincluding inventory pooling centers in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia as well as repair capabilities. It also opened 24/7customer response centersin Irvine, California, and Singapore.

The survey report also explains thatParker HannifinChairman and CEO Tom Williams established a net promoter score index called likelihood to recommend (LTR).

Customers are asked about their experience after every significant business transaction, says Austin Major,Parker Aerospacegroup vice president for business development & customer support. Customers who have good experiences hold a greater appreciation for the overall value offered by Parker and actively promote our brand. They are more likely to have a strong interest in new product offerings and product improvements, and to consider broadening their business with Parker.

Parkers leaders and business units are measured on the LTR scores, which Major says have steadily increased every year since the programs inception. Parker Aerospace has a division dedicated to serving aftermarket customers, calledCustomer Support Operations(CSO), which represents all of the aerospace technologies across Parkers Aerospace Group. Customers are surveyed with transactions that are manual and digital, plus an overall relationship survey, so that issues can be quickly identified and resolved.

The complete survey results and winners can be found in a recent webinar, Aviation Reset: Flight Path Forward, featuring MRO Top Performers: Strategies for Leading Customer Satisfaction. The panelists will discuss the increasing importance of customer engagement, how that is changing as airlines prioritize cost savings and efficiency, and maintaining excellent customer relations through mergers, acquisitions, and industry consolidation.Register hereto view the on-demand webinar.
