We sit down with Ravinder Nottra, a profitability coach for dentists, to unpack how Lean and Six Sigma can turn the daily chaos of overruns, long waits, and inconsistent workflows into something you can actually see, measure, and improve.We start with a familiar pain point: the “30-minute wait”. Rav shows how delays are rarely caused by one big mistake, but by a cascade of small defects that stack up, then links that operational drag to the numbers that matter: no-shows, overheads, and how small percentage wins can translate into meaningful profit. From there we dig into Lean thinking, mapping the patient journey to strip out waste, and Six Sigma, reducing variation so your diary becomes predictable rather than hopeful.You will hear practical examples from McDonald’s consistency, Formula 1 pit stops and SMED, plus surprising bottleneck lessons from the NHS and Heathrow that apply directly to reception, chair time, and pre-appointment communication. Rav also shares three tools you can use immediately: the Five Whys, Pareto thinking, and tight standard operating procedures that protect quality and boost practice valuation by making performance repeatable.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.
