OS1

Plant Building and Grounds Services is embarking on an exciting journey! Over the next few years we are going to be implementing a comprehensive cleaning system called OS1 which focuses on specialized cleaning using 4 member teams. This system was created by ManageMen Inc. and they changed the priority of cleaning for appearance to cleaning for health.

Here are some results we expect to see as a result of implementing this system:

• Consistent cleaning standards
• Custodians and supervisors will be specialists instead of generalists
• Scheduling will be done based on building needs
• Job cards guide work and schedules.
• Improved coverage and addition of daily porters
• Dramatically improved custodial safety
• Reduced injuries, absenteeism and equipment abuse
• Reduced number of chemical products
• Lean supply and distribution system
• Savings average 20-30% over zone cleaning, cost neutral in 18-24 months

Philosophy of Cleaning

• Clean for Health First then Appearance
• Treat Cleaning Workers as First Class Citizens
• Simplify, Simplify
• Utilize the Clean Syndrome
• Go Beyond Compliance on Safety Regulations
• Minimize Environmental Harm
• Exceed Expectations
