If the
amount of time between treatments can be
reduced from ten minutes to five minutes,
say, more treatments can be scheduled and
revenue potential will increase. (Of course, if
the changeover time is reduced, the impact
on therapists must be considered.) A similar
result may be obtained by developing a good
communication system among therapists
and cleaning attendants so that employees
know when rooms are ready to be cleaned
and reset. It goes without saying that management
could analyze and streamline the
process of cleaning treatment rooms to minimize
changeover time.
