Organisational Skills and Japanese 5S

I am a well organised person by birth.
I think I inherit this probably from my previous birth.

I have worked with Japanese twice one in management capacity when they were developing JEB Vaccine based on Ceylon and other on academic capacity to get at least second hand microscopes.
I could not get one with a camera but bought a student's microscope with camera  for my research work.

On the second occasion I adopted 5S with enthusiasm.
Getting right first time was my motto and I did not want to redo my research.

I have met only one Japanese guy worth associating with.
All others were idiosyncratic and their inability converse with English was obvious.

I was much interested in Quality Control in Laboratory Work in Ceylon and done some work in this regard and was instrumental in Nawaloka Hospital getting the National award in mid 90s.

Quality was in my blood.

This is why I am an avid supporter of Linux Development.

My prescription is common sense and not Japanese paranoia which probably is indicated in consumer industry.

My interest was in service sector and especially in higher education.

Unlike Japanese I do not discard even a coconut shell after use.
It is hard and can be degraded to activated carbon.
Coconut fiber rubberised is very useful in making pot fillers and coconut dust has many uses apart from padding in our mettreses.
It was one of my classmates who pioneered the development of these techniques.
I do not know where he is most likely in Japan married to a Japanese girl.

Now coming to computers I have discarded all the IBM and IDE hard disks but collected an assortment of SATA disks (some internal and some external).

I did not get 5S training in computer assembly and I guess all this are done premanufacturing stage.

My job is to test their compatibility to Linux.
Debian, Ubuntu and lately I have covered Sparky Linux have mastered the technique of getting right first time round.

I did not discard any of the boxes and power cords that came with them.
Over the years I have put them in the wrong box and what I did was to put them back to their proper boxes with the items that I am not currently bnot using.
All of them have a latest 64 bit version running.

All of them are password protected and if I kick the bucket nobody can use them.
But I leave the passwords in one of my little notebooks.

Light has come up and I am back to installing Sparky Linux in my second SATA disk as a spare workplace.
