WHAT IS 5Spark?

A systematic approach to organizing your workspaces so that you can work efficiently, effectively and safely.

It’s also the first step to move from ‘firefighting and reactive’ to ‘controlled and proactive.’ 

The methodology is proven to improve safety, reduce costs, improve quality, improve productivity, and improve employee morale and engagement. 

Many of the most successful businesses in the world use 5S, or a variant thereof, and recognize that a safe, organized workplace offers many benefits.
