  1. Housekeeping Management 10.2: Planning

  2. Tools for Planning • Area inventory lists • Frequency schedules • Performance standards • Productivity standards • Inventory levels

  3. Area Inventory Lists • Contain all the items within each area that need housekeeping’s attention • Usually long and detailed • Needs to be a separate inventory list for each type of guestroom • Items in the list should be in the sequence in which room attendants will clean them and supervisors will inspect them

  4. Frequency Schedule • Show how often each item on the inventory list must be cleaned or maintained • Items that must be cleaned daily or weekly become part of the routine cleaning cycle • Items that are not cleaned or maintained as frequently become a part of the deep cleaning program

  5. Performance Standards • State what must be done and how it must be done • Help ensure that all employees do their jobs consistently • Need to be properly developed, effectively communicated, and consistently managed • to properly develop a standard, managers gain consensus from the people who perform the tasks • To effectively manage standards, there must be an inspection program and periodic performance evaluations

  6. Productivity Standards Affect on Housekeeping Planning • They determine how much work needs to be done while performance standards state how well it should be done • Productivity standards vary among hotels. They are typically expressed as how many times the task can be performed in a standard work shift. • To establish standard – EH needs to learn how long it takes an employee to perform each of the major tasks on the cleaning frequency schedule. • Performance and productivity standards must be balanced so that labour costs are not too high but all of the work meets quality standards.

  7. Wasted Time Activity • Walk around the school once. • Represents how long it might take for a guestroom attendant to walk from one of the guestrooms to the supply room. • Determine average for class. • Multiply that number by 18. • If guestroom attendants were to pick up supplies only 3 times in a shift, that is how much time it would cost them each week. • Divide that time by 60 (determining the number of hours wasted each week) and multiply it by $8.50. This is how much money it might cost a hotel.
