Cleaning without Disruption

Abstract

In most industries, the question of whether or not to shut down for cleaning and maintenance to be carried out simply doesn't arise. Vital production cannot be sacrificed and the alternative of closing down selected areas in rotation is only viable if those areas need to be closed for some other purpose, such as overhauling machinery or the installation of new plant. Cleaning and maintenance is an essential service for industry as a whole, but at a difficult time for British Industry as a whole, it cannot be allowed to disrupt production.
