This sounds like the 5S framework from Toyota, where people keep areas, neat, clean, and organized as a work principal.

The 5S acronym is:

Sort (remove what you don’t need)

Set in Order (organize what remains so it’s easy to find/use)

Shine (clean the area regularly)

Standardize (create consistent rules/checklists)

Sustain (maintain the discipline long-term)
