Dental Lab ProblemsWhy this problem happens
Most lab problems are not caused by one careless person. They usually come from unclear systems, disconnected tools, and weak handoffs.
- Due dates live in a spreadsheet but stage status lives in people's heads.
- Rush cases displace normal work without a capacity review.
- Waiting-on-dentist cases are not separated from active production.
- Delivery status is tracked after production instead of during the workflow.
A practical operating fix
- 1 Create a case record with due date and owner at intake.
- 2 Move every case through visible stages.
- 3 Review late and due-today cases at the start of each day.
- 4 Use delivery status and invoice status to close the loop.
