Bundle Case Shipments
Posted Mar 27, 2018 in Management
"We don’t have a fixed turnaround time for our products; instead we schedule our workflow based on return date. The dentist puts the patient’s delivery date on his instructions and then, as much as workflow allows, we try to batch all the work for that doctor to minimize our shipping costs; this often means we move up cases to an earlier deadline. Using this strategy, we save over $1,000 every month."
