Saduak or convience is the core: all elements must have their own designated location, arranged in an orderly fashion for maximum productivity, quality, and safety. The workplace is where this practice is implemented, ensuring that everything is in its rightful place.

To make it easier to accomplish tasks, the necessary equipment, tools, and documents must be in place. The following steps should be taken to ensure convenience:

Plan to set the location of the items clearly.
Arranged in an orderly category
There is a name tag to show where to place the items.
There is a name tag attached to the item to be placed.
Make a diagram showing the location of the items.
Check regularly

Convenience operations should prioritize three key principles: Efficiency, Identification, and Organization. Efficiency can be achieved through the use of identification signs, document file binding, and color symbols. Organization should involve creating a categorical system to store and access items.

The quality of a product is determined by the quality of the raw materials, equipment, etc. used in its production. Additionally, when dealing with the storage of these items, the FIFO (First In First Out) principle must be followed to ensure the quality of the product.
Safety means storing things, tools, and equipment according to safety principles.

Additionally, it includes the inspection of these items to ensure their proper functioning. This process is divided into three levels of cleaning to ensure maximum productivity.
