Hey EVS Manager—we see you.
You’re showing up early, covering extra shifts, and keeping your facility safe, spotless, and running smooth—even when you’re short on staff and supplies. That’s why more and more EVS leaders are embracing a Lean EVS approach to optimize daily operations, reduce waste, and elevate team performance.
At its core, Lean EVS isn’t a program or kit—it’s a way of thinking. It’s about looking at your current processes and asking: Where can we make this simpler, faster, and safer? And at Contec Professional, we believe that the right tools can help make that answer clear.
So, What Is the Lean EVS approach?
It’s all about clearing the roadblocks in your day—like missing supplies, back-and-forth trips, and confusing checklists—and replacing them with cleaner systems, better tools, and more time to breathe.
Here’s the kind of waste we’re talking about:
-
- Walking back to the closet because your cart’s missing something
-
- Re-cleaning a room because no one left clear instructions
-
- Digging through bins of supplies that haven’t been touched in months
It’s not about adding a new initiative to your plate—it’s about refining what’s already there.
How Lean EVS Benefits Your Department
A Lean approach offers tangible benefits for your team and your facility:
✅ Faster Room Turnover
Lean EVS identifies friction points that delay room readiness and helps streamline workflows.
✅ Greater Staff Engagement
Frontline team members are encouraged to participate in refining processes, increasing ownership and morale.
✅ Less Inventory Waste
Fewer SKUs and more versatile products mean simpler ordering, less clutter, and fewer expired items.
✅ Easier Onboarding
Standardized workflows reduce training time and make it easier to get new hires up to speed.
