SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
We would also lose control over that part of the process and the loss of the in‐house expertise
could make it very difficult to re‐establish that activity within the company in the future. In the
longer term this could therefore significantly affect costs as we become reliant on the outsourcer.
Similar arguments can be put forward for insourcing, with recent consultant’s reports indicating
that dental practice companies might vertically integrate by buying/building their own dental
laboratories. This would clearly cut out delays in the supply chain, improve reliability and quality
but would require significant investment in the short term. Similarly Crowncare would also have
to recruit specialist teams to manage such a function as we have n experience of this function
currently.
