​​COURSE SUMMARY: Efficient procurement is essential for maintaining a well-run dental practice. In this session, we’ll explore key performance indicators (KPIs) that can help measure and enhance procurement efficiency.

We’ll also discuss how consistently evaluating overhead costs and being open to product alternatives can improve cost control, resource management, and overall practice performance.​
​LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
-
Identify key procurement KPIs, including inventory turnover rate, order frequency, and supplier lead time.
-
Understand how variable overhead costs may reflect the efficiency and health of your practice.
-
Discuss tools and strategies for tracking and measuring procurement performance.
-
Compress product categories within purchasing behavior to optimize inventory management, reduce team stress, and reduce cost and waste.
