Our Story

We believe that every company needs safe, high quality materials on their lean journey. That’s why President and Inventor Doug Sparks, and his wife Terri Sparks, created Flex Craft in 2006. Doug has over 25 years of operations experience in various business environments. He has developed and delivered Lean Thinking Training to over 200 businesses and over 9,000 peers.

Having been trained by the Japanese originators of Lean, he combines “common sense” and his experiences to deliver results. Doug has published several articles regarding his Lean journey with World Class companies and continues to support community and educational awareness on Lean Thinking.
