Today on the Double Your Production Podcast, Dr. John Meis and Wendy Briggs are sitting down with Angie Bachman of Design Ergonomics to about how she helps practices become some of the top-producing offices in the nation.

Design Ergonomics has revolutionized dentistry by applying lean manufacturing principles of the famed Toyota production process to optimize offices. They improve everything from patient flow to team flow, allowing the overall environment of the office to improve. Their methods reduce wasted time, energy, and materials so practices can be extremely efficient and productive while providing a better patient experience.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why simply moving faster doesn’t improve efficiency in a dental office
How to identify wasted time or energy in a practice’s operations
How to create a centralized, low-cost inventory system
The best place to start when optimizing your office and simple things you can do to improve your efficiency
Why there’s a tendency to overcomplicate an operatory and how to encourage the team to maintain simplicity
How to create a universal, agreed-upon setup and processes that are the same in each room

We hope you enjoy today’s episode! If you’d like to get in touch with Angie Bachman, you can reach her atabachman@desergo.com or www.desergo.com
