Time management, Laundry operations, Linen volume, Work efficiencyAbstract
This study aims to analyze operational time management strategies in laundry services to balance linen volume with employees’ scheduled working hours.The laundry service industry is currently experiencing rapid growth in line with the high demand from both the public and the business sector for efficient textile care. However, the main challenge in daily operations often lies in the unpredictable fluctuations in linen volume. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review design. Data were collected from scientific journals, research articles, and various relevant literature sources. The findings indicate that laundry operational efficiency can be improved through effective work scheduling, clear task distribution, regular employee training, and the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). These strategies help reduce linen backlogs, minimize overtime, and maintain employee productivity. Therefore, effective time management plays a vital role in creating efficient laundry operations and supporting employee well-being
