How it works: Gross production = case starts × case fee. Aligner cost = case starts × aligners per case × DSP price per aligner. DSP aligners are ordered per aligner as cases are started, so there is no inventory to hold and no stock position to track — cost scales directly with the day's volume. Team bonus is all-or-nothing: paid in full only if consults completed reach the required number, and $0 otherwise. Net output = gross production − aligner cost − team bonus. Goal analysis works on gross production, the standard measure of a production goal.
Note: Net output does not account for practice overhead, staff wages beyond the bonus shown,
doctor compensation, or the cost of running the scan day itself.
Disclaimer: These figures are based on mathematical simulations using a single practice model.
