Warehouse managers, facility supervisors, and the operations lead who feels it when a dock is filthy.
What usually goes wrong
A janitorial company that mostly does offices will sweep the front office and call the warehouse done. Tire dust, stretch wrap in the pit, and a driver washroom that hasn't been touched by Thursday are the gaps. The other failure is a crew that arrives in the middle of outbound.
What the contract covers
- Aisles and staging, scrubbed when the lane can be given up
- Dock plates, pits, and the apron inside the door
- Washrooms, lunch rooms, and the dispatch office
How it is usually scheduled
Single-shift buildings usually want a nightly or between-shift clean. A 24-hour distribution centre often needs more than one pass, aimed at the slowest hour rather than a clock time copied from an office.
