Assessment
Creating a cohesive Cleaning Management Strategy within an NHS Trust demands that equipment and staff labour time be put to optimum use. This entails a detailed audit during which Kärcher looks at:
• Areas by category (e.g. ward, operating theatre,
front of house) |
• Surface areas (square metres) of spaces
under consideration |
• Cleaning requirements (e.g. sweeping,
scrubbing,
spray extraction, polishing)
|
| • Equipment used (analysed by cleaning task) |
| • Labour time spent on specific cleaning tasks |
| • Cleaning staff resource number and shift patterns. |
Having audited existing resource, we then match the appropriate Kärcher machine to each cleaning task, applying our knowledge of the range of features and applications. Next, we look for areas of overlap to enable machine sharing across the site where appropriate (reducing number of machines required and corresponding investment).
By combining all this information we are able to provide a detailed list of equipment required by site location, achievable time reductions (task specific) and projected labour savings.
