Scheduling

Labtrac is built on a powerful scheduling system allowing work to be accurately scheduled to every work centre or department within the laboratory. It takes into account Technician skill levels and Capacity, Vacation and Lab or Department Shutdowns, Overtime, Shipping Methods and the all-important Inventory Production Paths. This combined with facilities to automatically crunch cases to meet deadlines and the ability to schedule Case Batches in parallel provide the definitive scheduling process for dental laboratories.

Production Tools

Graphical Schedule

Taking the scheduled work and displaying it to technical and non-technical personal is another area that Labtrac excels in. There are 3 key areas within the enterprise manager to help users perform their day to day tasks. The first is a graphical schedule, this tool at a glance helps production managers and the like check the scheduling process within the laboratory and to highlight cases that need urgent attention in order to keep you customer deadlines.

Department Capacity

This graphical schedule is complimented by a detailed department capacity overview, this tool projects the real capacity usage over the future weeks and months, it allows bottlenecks to be spotted and resolved at the beginning of the process rather than several weeks later when they occur.

Work to List

The third scheduling tool is a powerful work to list. This allows departmental managers or supervisors to allocate the scheduled work to a specific technician if required, this is combined with an optional ‘pre-allocation’ routine that allows the system to allocate Skilled work to the appropriate technician along with Doctor preferences for technicians or teams. This all gives the user complete control over the work within the lab down to procedural level.

Summary

The Labtrac scheduler is one of the key solutions provided by Inventrix and is built on their superior reputation within the production management industry over the last 12 years. This combined with the detailed production tools and leading edge real-time data capture technologies such as Labtrac Mobile and Labtrac Touchscreen, make Labtrac the most powerful leading edge scheduler for dental laboratories.
