Janitorial Data
The MODAPTS supplementary
janitorial data is special purpose, predetermined time data
designed to improve janitorial operations requiring periodic
repetition. When properly applied, the data will
help:
- Provide an understanding
of the actual work involved in various janitorial tasks,
- Assist in labor cost
analysis and contract biding,
- Improve effectiveness
through better planning and scheduling, and
- Assist in the development
of a system for piece rating janitorial contracts for
businesses and agencies with commensurate wage certificates
from the Department of Labor for employing persons with
disabilities.
Dr. William H. Pritchard
developed the MODAPTS supplementary janitorial data from two
sources: from the original MODAPTS data, and from extensive
field analysis of janitorial operations in various sites. It has
been tested in the field in various sites. The data is
sufficiently comprehensive to allow substantial reduction in
time needed to analyze a janitorial site with MODAPTS. Its use
leads to consistent, reliable standards. Development of the data
began in 1990, and was first applied in the janitorial
requirements of a sheltered workshop.
Application was extended to several commercial applications
in subsequent years. Dr. Pritchard divided his presentation into
three sections:
- A description of each
janitorial data block along with a detailed MODAPTS analysis
of its components,
- A strategy description for
the development of a labor cost analysis for a janitorial
application at a site, and
- A strategy description for
the development of price rate standards for a given site to
use for fair and consistent payment for persons with
disability under a Department of Labor Commensurate Wage
Certificate.
Dr. Pritchard gave all of the applicable copyrights to the
International MODAPTS Association.
