A Timing Method for Turnover Readiness

Method

Define the unit as one turnover from checkout to verified ready state. Record the checkout time, cleaner start, clean complete, inspection, and ready confirmation.

Separate the waits: assignment, access, linen, cleaning, inspection, and correction. Each has a different owner.

Sample normal and exception turnovers. Include late checkouts and same-day arrivals.

Report the median and 90th percentile by stage, plus the share ready before the arrival window.

State limitations: a fast turnover that misses a defect is not a successful result.

Findings

Access delay is a distinct stage from cleaning duration and should not be merged into one number.

Late checkouts shift the entire chain; reporting them separately keeps the baseline honest.

Inspection time is frequently unrecorded in small teams.

A ready time without a defect check measures speed, not readiness.
