Quality Control and Inspection

Quality Control and Inspection

The quality control and inspection process is a systematic approach that ensures cleaning standards in housekeeping are maintained and continuously improved. Every cleaned room is inspected by a supervisor before being handed over to the guest and evaluated according to defined criteria.

Supervisor Checklist

The supervisor checklist consists of inspection items customized by room type. For a standard room, the checklist includes items such as bed making, bathroom cleaning, floor cleaning, dusting, window cleaning, minibar check, amenity placement, and general tidiness. For suite rooms, additional items such as living area, kitchen section, and balcony cleaning are added to the list. For each item, either satisfactory or unsatisfactory is marked.

Scoring System

The scoring system enables the measurable quantification of cleaning quality. Each checklist item has a specific weight score. For example, bathroom cleaning may be a high-weight item while dusting may have a lower weight. The total score is calculated as a weighted average of the items and evaluated out of one hundred. Rooms falling below a certain score threshold are redirected for re-cleaning.

Three categories are applied in scoring results. Rooms below seventy points are considered failed, and re-cleaning is mandatory. Between seventy and eighty-five is conditional acceptance, with approval given after minor corrections. Scores above eighty-five are considered successful, and the room is made ready for the guest.

Photo Documentation

Photo documentation ensures the inspection process is supported with visual evidence. When the supervisor detects a deficiency during inspection, they take a photo with their mobile device and upload it to the system. These photos are added to the task record and shown to the cleaning staff to concretely communicate the points that need correction. Photos also serve as resources for performance evaluation meetings and training materials.

Room Type Templates

Room type templates enable different inspection standards to be applied for different room categories. A separate template is defined for each category: standard room, superior room, suite, presidential suite, accessible room, etc. Templates include the specific equipment and arrangement requirements of the relevant room type. For example, the accessible room template includes additional items such as handrail checks and floor slip tests.

Deficiency Reporting

Deficiency reporting involves categorizing and recording issues identified during inspection. Deficiencies are classified into categories such as cleaning error, material shortage, technical malfunction, and aesthetic issue. Cleaning errors are directly assigned to the cleaning staff as correction tasks. Technical malfunctions are directed to the maintenance department as work orders.

Inspection History

Inspection history is stored chronologically for each room. The last thirty days of inspection results, scores, and deficiencies for a specific room can be reviewed retrospectively. This data enables the identification of recurring issues and root cause analysis. For example, if a room consistently receives low bathroom cleaning scores, this information is evaluated as a training need.

Inspection reports are generated on daily, weekly, and monthly bases. These reports can be filtered by floor, by staff member, and by room type. Management evaluates the overall status of cleaning standards through these reports and plans necessary improvement actions.
