[QUOTE="Mark Jackson, post: 38659, member: 153"] Here is what we do: 1) We have a couple young (unskilled in dental) technicians who just scan all day long. Scan, scan, scan, scan. 2) All the scanned cases are moved to a server, where they are sorted and assigned to design technicians (former waxers) who do all the design work. 3) The designed cases are sent to another server where the CDT manager gives it his final inspection and any refinements before it is handed over top the CAM manager. 4) CAM manager decides how to best distribute the cases amongst the various milling machines, depending on due date, type of material being used, best nesting strategy etc. 5) CAM manager loads and unloads machines, does the ultrasonic cleaning steps, pigmenting, drying, sintering etc, and passes to the seating and contouring technicians. 6) Stain, glaze, QC and ship. You may want to think about getting someone else to handle the majority of the scanning and design chores for you, while you do something else. After you get the hang of things, you can decide who within your organization would ne best to do certain things like scanning for example. You PU&D driver might be able to do it or something. The whole idea is, use less skilled, less expensive labor and quadruple your throughput. [/QUOTE]
