When the schedule is full and surgeries are lined up back-to-back, even the most organized clinic can feel the pressure. And nothing is more disruptive than opening a tray on surgery day and discovering that a critical implant size is missing.
That’s why proactive stock management is essential - not just for peace of mind, but for ensuring smooth clinical flow, patient satisfaction, and zero last-minute compromises.
Today, we’ve prepared a checklist to help you stay ahead of shortages, so you can keep every case on track without last-minute surprises:
- Review usage trends - Look back over the last 6-12 months and identify patterns in implant sizes, abutments, and accessories. This helps forecast your true demand during peak periods.
- Set reorder triggers - Define minimum stock levels for each core item. The moment you hit that threshold, it’s time to reorder - not when you run out.
- Consolidate suppliers - Working with fewer, reliable partners streamlines ordering, shortens lead times, and reduces the risk of mix-ups or delays.
- Schedule deliveries in advance - Reserve stock for the busiest months now, and lock in delivery dates so you’re not waiting at the last minute.
- Communicate your forecast - Sharing your expected case volume with your supplier allows them to plan production and allocation specifically for your needs.
- Keep a “critical cases” reserve - Always have a small, dedicated stock for urgent or unexpected cases - separate from your day-to-day inventory.
At Implanet™, we can help you with personalized stock planning based on your clinic’s real usage patterns - made possible by assigning you a dedicated account manager.
