Production Benchmarking Detailed in TRSA Webinar

TRSA recently held a webinar titled “Production Benchmarking Metrics” featuring Chip Malboeuf, vice president of engineering and operations for ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists, King of Prussia, PA.

Malboeuf previously served as president and principal for Turn-Key Industrial Engineering Services Inc., a Barboursville, VA-based industrial engineering firm that specializes in providing facility planning and process improvement services for companies in the linen, uniform and facility services industry. He has 24 years of experience in process analysis and layout design for the textile services industry and is Lean Six Sigma certified.

To kick off the webinar, Malboeuf described benchmarking as “something that serves as a standard by which others may be measured or judged. Benchmarking is the practice of being humble enough to admit that someone else is better at something and wise enough to try and learn how to match and even surpass them.”

Topics that Malboeuf addressed in the webinar included:

• Benchmarking metrics
• Types of benchmarking
• Benchmarking value cycle
• Laundry industry metrics
• Volume vs. revenue focused metrics

TRSA’s next webinar presentation is titled “Protecting Your Employees from Workplace Violence” and will be held on March 13 from 2-3 p.m. EST. Todd Logsdon, a partner in the Louisville, KY, office of Fisher Phillips LLP, will host the webinar. All webinars are free to TRSA members.
