  3. Cost Per Pound Vs Cost Per Patient Day • Cost Per Pound is the traditional measure of laundry efficiency. • Cost Per Patient Day is more meaningful. • The Best Way for a laundry to lower the Cost Per Pound in the attempt to look efficient is to increase poundage in the facilities they serve. • Unfortunately, this increases the Cost Per Patient Day!

  5. Cost Containment in Linen Service • Bottom Line Cost Has Four Elements. • PROCESSING COST. • LEVEL OF CONSUMPTION. • REPLACEMENT COST. • DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION. • Other laundries have concentrated on productivity & “Cost Per Pound.” • Users have not managed consumption.
