If your dealership suffers from clutter, chaos or confusion, you’re not just losing efficiency, you’re losing profit, customers and a clean work culture. 5Spark is a system that changes everything. Here’s how.
What is the 5S System?
The 5S system was built on five simple steps:
-
- Sort
-
- Set in Order
-
- Shine
-
- Standardize
-
- Sustain
5S was developed by Ford and perfected by Toyota. 5Spark tailors it specifically for heavy equipment dealerships. It’s a proven framework for eliminating waste and freeing up your team to solve customer problems faster and more efficiently.
The Real Deal: Why 5Spark Works

-
- Less time spent searching
-
- Faster work order completion
-
- Reduced rework
-
- Better morale and fewer frustrated customers
Turning 5S into Profit
