Several challenges can impact the efficiency and effectiveness of linen services:
- Infection Control: Ensuring that linens are properly disinfected to prevent the spread of infections is a major challenge. - Inventory Management: Maintaining an adequate supply of linens without overstocking or understocking can be difficult. - Cost Management: Balancing the cost of laundering services with the need for high-quality linen is essential. - Linen Loss: Linens can be misplaced, damaged, or stolen, leading to increased costs and supply shortages.
