​​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.

​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.
