How Do You Calculate The Hotel Linen Purchase Quantity And Loss?

• Calculation of linen purchase quantity

How much linen should a hotel have to operate properly without running into shortages?

Concept of linen PAR: We call linen that can meet the needs of every hotel room a set or 1par.

 

• Calculation of hotel turnover

How many parts does the hotel need to turn over?

Number of par for linen: 1 par for a guest room; 1 per for the floor; 1 per for a laundry room; 0.5 pair or 1 per for the warehouse.

 

 

• What do you consider to be the loss and reported a loss of linen?

 

Basis point: calculation of the required linen quantity.

Analysis: Take a large quilt cover as an example. The size of one quilt is 2 meters by 2 meters. 214 rooms require such quilt covers. According to the hotel's turnover requirements, the rooms, laundry rooms, and floor workshops must each have 1 part, and the warehouse must have 1 part. The amount is 0.5 par. (If it is an open hotel, it is best to prepare 1 par in the warehouse.). (1par+1par+1par+0.5par)*214=749 (bars); 749+4*4=765 (bars).

 

Why is the required purchase quantity 800 pieces? The primary consideration is the monthly loss and damage to linens, and the purchase quantity must be fully estimated. Hotels will adopt long-term cooperation with suppliers, so they can consider a 4-month replenishment amount. If it is inconvenient for the supplier to replenish, you can consider replenishing the amount for one year.

It is estimated that 4 large quilt covers are contaminated or damaged in this hotel every month, so the replenishment amount is 16. According to the calculation, the hotel needs to purchase 756 items. However, it should be considered that the supplier's linen production is in whole numbers, so the required purchase quantity is an integer that is close to the calculated value of 800 pieces.

 

 

• Calculation of annual loss rate

After completing the linen equipment for each room, you must also consider the update cycle, which requires continuous replenishment and new purchases of linens. Therefore, the annual consumption of each type of linen must be considered.

 

The concept of wastage rate: The wastage rate refers to the degree of wear and tear of linen. The hotel requires the replacement of damaged or outdated linen to maintain the hotel's specifications and service levels.

 

Different qualities of linen have different washing lives. For example, for hotel linen sheets, cotton should be washed 250 to 300 times; for polyester cotton, it should be washed 400 to 450 times; and for hotel linen towels, it should be washed 150 to 180 times.

 

 

[Case 1] When I was inspecting a textile factory in Nan tong, I happened to see a Japanese person discussing the purchase of hotel linens. He said that his hotel would replace a batch of linens every six months, which shows that they attach great importance to the quality of linens. On the contrary, the linens in many hotels are torn, with a lot of lint falling off the edges, and the towels are blackened and still being used. Let's not talk about service quality. For this reason, customers will not stay there again. This kind of hotel.

[Summary] Hotel staff should pay attention to the quality of linen, that is, to improve the hotel's specifications.

 

• Calculation of loss rate and annual consumption

The number of time sheets washed per year: 365/3=122 times;

Annual bedsheet loss rate: Actual service life 300 times/122 times = 2.5 years;

Annual loss rate: 1/2.5*100% = 40%;

Annual consumption: annual linen consumption (X) = number of linens per room (P) * number of guest rooms (K) * predicted annual average occupancy rate (O) * annual loss rate of individual linens (S), that is, X=P*K*O*S, leads to: X=2 items*150 rooms*65%*40% =78 items.

 

 

The above data is for reference only. Under normal circumstances, the coat of linen wear and tear does not exceed the total room revenue.

Through analysis of examples, hotel staff should collect statistics on linen washing loss and loss data separately, grasp the number of times linen is washed, reduce the amount of washing per day, and use various systems to prevent linen loss and save more costs for the hotel.
