Lean Manufacturing: catching the concept of JIT(Just-in-time) and re-examines it from the client point of view. Anything that is made should put something of valuable to the client’s requirement. For example, if you are manufacturing stereo system for a luxury car, you will imagine from the customer point of view like space occupancy, durability, sound quality, medium or loud sound, etc.

For inserting, deleting, and locating elements in a Map, the HashMap offers the best alternative. If, however, you need to traverse the keys in a sorted order, then TreeMap is your better alternative. Depending upon the size of your collection, it may be faster to add elements to a HashMap, then convert the map to a TreeMap for sorted key traversal.
