So, did pronouncing that headline make you think of chief operating officer, a military overthrow, mourning doves, or cost of ownership? In this case, we are talking about cost of ownership. Your accountant probably brings that up when you are making buying decisions. You and your business partners or office manager probably pour over long-term expense details before signing the bottom line for bigger ticket items. It co
uld even be something that sometimes keeps you up at night.
The purpose of assessing the COO is looking beyond the short-term purchase price to determine its long-term cost, including operations, maintenance, supplies, team training, repairs, and replacing. The indirect expenses associated with a decent-sized investment can have a significant impact on overall cost.
DENTALEZ thought this concept through while developing its CORE Operatory Equipment line, which includes the dental chair, delivery unit, and light system—otherwise known as the core of each and every operatory. DENTALEZ took initial cost, plus installation and maintenance costs, into consideration while creating and evaluating every design feature of the CORE system. They came up with these upfront solutions: CORE equipment is simple to install, and you can make it simpler by ordering pre-installed umbilicals. The units are straightforward and all components are easy to access, which makes it faster to assemble and repair if necessary. It’s a simple, time-saving process for the installation techs, if you use them, which saves you money as well as time.
The simplicity and durability of CORE products streamlines maintenance, too. Components are easy to find and replace, techs will have them on hand, and you’ll be back up and running quickly. With no scarce parts, and no complex replacement issues related to how the system is put together, maintenance and repairs are greatly simplified.
As for initial COO purchasing considerations, the above mentioned factors combined with The CORE 5-year limited warranty will help reduce downtime and improve productivity.
