[QUOTE="Al., post: 14415, member: 382"] In my opinion it is impossible for a 2 person operation to produce if you are working buy the day, or doing 10 to 15 units a day as you described above. I dont think it can be done either. Your buy your self? Doing model work, pu and delivery and billing? Forget about production you cant do it unless you get somebody to do your model and die and pu's. Get one person to help and 25 units a week is part time work. You have to work buy the week. You have to produce X number of units per week not X units per day. Prepare all your dies one day and wax. Cast eveything. Fit everyting in a group all the way to delivering everything for the week on Mon. AM. I documented that week with a couple dozen pics from die prep to cases packed up ready for delivery and mail. Ill be glad to post them but not till the weekend it takes along time to upload that many pics with explainations. In my opinion speed is very important but organization and your system in a small lab is more important to production. As an update to this thread I have picked up some higher end Drs that I am charging between $220 and 250 a unit depending on what they want, and Ive drop 2 production Drs. But I am not convienced there is any more profit in doing this kind of work because these guys are so much more demanding and require so much more communication. When you start getting into the $250+ price range, your work needs to look good under the macro lens, that means all margins must be perfect to 10X mag and every brush stroke of stain must be blended etc etc. A major PIA because these guys expect presentation quality work even for 2nd molars.
