Dry Weight Calculations

Estimating or calculating the dry weight of articles to be processed

There are two ways of doing this. Firstly by making use of acceptable norms such as x/kg of articles per bed/patient/room per week or day generated by the hospital or institution and translating this into y/kg/hour of articles by type to be processed in the laundry. Secondly by the more reliable approach of calculating the weight or number of articles to be processed based upon actual data derived from the institution(s) to be serviced by the laundry. Such an exercise depends upon reliable statistics being available over a reasonable period of time.
