Eastern Exposition for Cleaning Professionals

Professional Education–
for Cleaning Contractors and Facility Service Managers
How to Reduce Cleaning Costs for Today’s Cleaning Professionals
Wednesday, May 5, 2010 • 8:30a.m. Coffee • 9:00a.m.–12 Noon Seminar
In today’s highly unpredictable economy, facility managers are being asked to clean buildings
using fewer resources due to declining revenue and budget shortfalls. Many executives and
administrators are now in uncharted waters and they are demanding reductions of 5–15% or more.
In-house managers and building service contractors must assemble an innovative strategy to clean
buildings with less labor and fewer materials.
The key to a successful transition is to define the operating budget, restructure the workforce, contain all costs and
prioritize appearance levels. Managers must abandon traditional tactics and document the elements of a coherent plan to
clean the facility at a lower cost.
In this seminar, you will learn:
• The principle of how to workload and redefine staffing levels
• How to conduct time studies and benchmark production rates
• Balancing areas of risk while redefining task frequency minimums
• How to cost justify capital expenditures that will reduce labor cost
• How to evaluate, reduce, and redeploy the work force
• Review of cleaning systems designs and which one is best suited for the operation
• Calculating material usage and exploring ways to reduce, standardize and consolidate products
• Measuring transactional cost and using online procurement systems to control product usage, track consumption and
use reporting to enhance the budgeting process
• Meeting sustainability goals and green cleaning requirements at a lower cost
• Effective communication with your boss
