Linen Control
This is carried out in four phases
• Routine checking of linen for appearance
  and hygiene standards.
• Quantity control of the daily flow of linen
  stock/linen exchange procedure
• Stocktaking or physical inventory of linen
• Proper documentation of line through the
  master linen inventory control sheet
Routine checking of linen for
   appearance & hygiene standards
• The executive housekeeper must emphasize the inspection
  of fresh and soiled linen not only by linen room staff along
  with other staff handling linen
• Stringent checking should be carried out by the linen room
  staff
• In an OPL, the function of inspecting linen may be carried
  out by the laundry staff
• If the laundry is contracted out, the onus falls on the linen
  room staff
• Spot checking of linen should be carried out by supervisor
  in areas
• If the inspection of all articles are carried out thoroughly, a
  high standard of linen quality is maintained and the chance
  of a guest finding a torn or stained article in minimal
Quantity control of the daily flow of
 linen stock/linen exchange procedure
• It is the quantity control of linen sent from the
  floors & departments to the linen room for the
  dispatch to the laundry.
• To maintain an initial record of par stock of linen in
  each department, on each floor an indent is to be
  made by floor supervisor & the department
  incharge.
• The original copy of the indent is given to the linen
  room while the duplicate remains on the floor or
  with the concerned department.
• If the extra linen items issued to the floor or
  department are returned, signature of linen room
  supervisor is obtained on the duplicate copy.
Control of linen in the linen room is
     carried out as following
• The daily supervision of the work done by the linen room
  attendants
• Using linen room entry book : the linen room entry book
  contains daily records of the soiled linen brought to the
  linen room from various floors and department as well as
  the amount of soiled linen sent to the laundry
• There is no duplicate records and is used as a
  reference
• It is signed and maintained by the linen room supervisor
  and helps in tracking the day to day movement of linen
• It is a cross checking for the amount received against
  dispatched to the laundry
Stocktaking/Physical Inventory
•   Stocktaking of linen is a physical verification, by counting, of the
    stocks of all linen items at all points in the cycle
•   It is carried out at periodic intervals or at the time of ‘closing of books’
    for evaluation purposes.
•   Accurate recording of entries to evaluate the overages & shortages
•   It is conducted after 3 months & is known as ‘quarterly inventory’
•   While counting, all the items-including discards-are segregated &
    grouped.
•   Items in circulation and items kept in store are counted up separately
    and the totals are added together
•   The discard are stamped ‘condemned’ and set aside.
•   Now the counted total should tally the last inventory figure plus the
    issued items received after that.
•   The inventory should be conducted in presence of housekeeper
    where the stocktaking for uniforms, room linen & restaurant linen
    being done on separate days.
Proper Documentation of Linen
• The master inventory control sheet helps the
  executive housekeeper to analyze the result of
  physical inventory.
• Linen loss can be accurately be calculated by
  subtracting the counted total for each linen
  article from the expected quantity
• Linen loss is the difference from the total
  obtained during the previous inventory
• If the difference between the actual and the
  expected is high, then further investigation is
  required
• The physical does not reveals, why these losses
  have occurred.
• The executive housekeeper should make
  sure that the par levels are brought back to
  the level originally established for each
  linen item.
• The par number for each item are recorded
• Thus this gives a clear picture of linen
  discarded, the linen lost, the amount that
  needs to be ordered and the amount that
  has been ordered
• The F&B table linen is also handled as the
  room linen.
