ABSTRACT:
In a computerized linens management system for a hotel, room attendants place soiled linens in bags identified with corresponding room numbers. All soiled items placed in each room bag and all linen items missing from the room are recorded on a ticket placed in or affixed to the bag. The soiled and listed items are entered into the computer, room by room, permitting the computer, on command, to provide a laundry shipping list and a replenishment list showing linen replenishment requirements for linen closets serving specified rooms. Daily entry of room occupancy status, updated as each room is made up, permits the computer to provide a list of current make-up status of all rooms as well as individual room assignment lists for respective room attendants. Clean linen items returned from the laundry are counted and the count information is also entered into the computer to permit a comparison with the corresponding previous shipping list so as to determine shortages and overages. Complete linens inventory, repurchase orders and cost information is also available from the computer on command.
