For the past 10 years or so, large laundries have been concerned with productivity. While productivity has increased 10 to 20 percent, the linen replacement cost in these same laundries has more than doubled. It will not suffice for these laundries to point toward the hospitals they serve and imply that linen service and control is solely a hospital management problem. As long as proven technology is available, these laundries have an inherent responsibility to provide hospital management with the data necessary to pinpoint and correct linen consumption and replacement problems.
在过去十年左右的时间里，大型洗衣房一直关注生产率。虽然生产率提高了10%到20%，但这些洗衣房的亚麻布更换成本却增加了一倍多。这些洗衣房仅仅指责它们所服务的医院，并暗示亚麻布服务和管理仅仅是医院管理的问题，这是不够的。只要有经过验证的技术，这些洗衣房就有内在的责任向医院管理层提供必要的数据，以查明并纠正亚麻布消耗和更换方面的问题。
