Open Lines Unfortunately, both businesses and their cleaning cont...

In order to stay competitive and maximize profitability, most businesses will continually reassess the way they do things. This can include the hours they are open, their production schedule, work shifts, and other timelines. Yet one little change can have unanticipated consequences.
