five Japanese words

should be maintained

"Lean Manufacturing" (waste removing) concepts

i. No rejected / unwanted items are lying at his work place
ii. All items are kept in proper locations/order
iii. Everybody should co-operate with each other in keeping his and
others areas and the machines clean
