These are he reasons why they refuse or dislike going to the dentist; Dentist’s attitude, actually characteristic of each and everyone are differences, for this case they who dislikes going to the dentist have set their mind by assuming that dentist have a ‘mean’ attitude and will gave unfriendly treatment towards you. For example they will give directions with harsh voices and make it feel like a kid. All this will stress the patient and tend to get under their skin with the dentists arrogant attitude and when the patient complain of pain and discomfort, the dentist will ignore that and give an hypocrite advise by saying hat will be no pain.
Most of the patients will fear the drill. The sharpened sound of it will make the patient feel so nervous and start to imagine a drill machine that will goes inside their mouth which is not in their comfort zone at that moment there is no much a dentist could do if the patient are so afraid. Majority of people from youngest to older generation found that the dentist place is unpleasant place to go. Most of them even don’t like the look of the environment, or the sight of dental chair, equipment and instruments it is because will makes them feel nervous and uncomfortable.
And some of them aid they dislike the smell of the dentist’s office. Patients that have undergone the treatment procedure might have felt the pain and these will gave a major actual reason for a patient to be afraid of the dentist. They will spread the experiences to their friends and relatives and by hearing all those horror stories of pain from them it can make it more hate the dentist. Practically, after or before having treatment the dentist will give an advice or a “lesson” toward their patients on how to take a good care of patient’s teeth but some patient find it annoying in the way the dentist go about “the lesson. . For example they ask the patient how the patient have been doing with the dental hygiene and immediately start scrutinizing if the patient haven’t been good. They scold the patient for the bad habits and give the patient a hard talk. Lastly, the financial cost of the operational is very high. Patients would like to be treated with excellent care and the expectation is high but for some patient even the basic dental cost operational they can’t afford to pay. Value, not everyone places high value On their dental health.
It can be a lot to spend if you need major work, and some people absolutely hate spending hard- earned dollars on dentistry. It makes them furious because they don’t get to spend it on stuff they like. Even if they have the money, they would rather be spending it on things that bring them more pleasure. As for Utopian Dental Clinic, they always keep their positive attitude by reminded providing quality service whether patients appreciated it or not. My dental care experiences there are not much to share it is because the only time that can remember is when I was young, that was the only time I went to the dentist to do my regularly check-up.
The dentist care that have been visited long time before hat was late ass’s the staff is unfriendly and the environment is unpleasant it is maybe because the dentist I have been is one of the government dentist clinic which the instrument are limited. Compare to this modern new area of technologies especially Utopian’s dental care; they have provided a waiting room and reception area were filled with modern furniture in muted shades of brown, grey, green and purple. Live plants and flowers were abundant and the walls were covered with art.
Classical music played softly in the background. Patients could enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and browse through he large selection of current magazines while they waited for their appointments. The treatment areas were both functional and appealing. There was a small conference room with toys for children and a VS. that was used to show patients educational films about different dental procedures. Literature was available here to explain what patients needed to do to maximize the benefits of their treatment outcomes.
The chairs in the examining rooms were covered in leather and very comfortable. Each room had a large window that allowed patients to watch birds eating at the feeders that were filled each day. There were also attractive mobiles hanging from the ceiling to distract patients from the unfamiliar sounds and sensations that might be experiencing. Headphones were available with a wide selection of music. The entire back office staff wore uniforms in cheerful shades of pink, purple and blue that matched the office dcore. All the technical equipment looked very modern and was spotlessly clean.
State-of-the-art computerized machinery was used for some proceed urges. The doctor degrees were prominently displayed in the office, along with certificates from various programs that the doctor and their staff had attended to update their chemical skills. Eurasia Eurasia has been expanding rapidly since 2001 , to become an award winning and the largest low cost carrier in Asia. Air Asia an airline company was established in 1993 and started operations on 18 November 1996. It was originally founded by a government-owned conglomerate DRAB-Which.
On December 2, 2001, the heavily-indebted airline was purchased by former Time Warner executive Tony Freshener’s company Tune Air Sad Bad for the token sum of one ringing. Fernando proceeded to engineer a remarkable turnaround, turning a profit in 2002 and launching new routes from its hub in Koala Lump International Airport at breakneck speed, undercutting former monopoly operator Malaysia Airlines with promotional fares as low as RMI (US $0. 27). A new budget terminal, the first of its kind in Asia was opened in Koala Lump International Airport on 23 March 2006. Built at a cost of ARM 108 million (US $29. Million) and spanning some 35,000 square meters (1 1 6,000 square feet), the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (ELECT) is the new home for Eurasia Bad. ELECT will initially handle 10 million passengers a year. Eurasia Group is expected to carry 18 million passengers in 2007. Eurasia operates tit the world’s lowest unit cost of IIS$O. 023/ASK and a passenger break- even load factor of 52%. It has hedged 100% of its fuel requirements for the next three years, achieves an aircraft turnaround time of 25 minutes, has a crew productivity level that is triple that of Malaysia Airlines and achieves an average aircraft utilization rate of 13 hours a day.
Eurasia is currently the main customer of the Airbus AWAY. The company has placed an order of 1 75 units of the same plane to service its routes and at least 50 of these AWAY will be operational by 2013. The first unit of the plane arrived on 8 December, 2005. The top management of Air Asia feels that still there are a number of wasteful operations done. Eurasia should use Lean techniques cut cost by eliminating waste, those items and process steps the customer doesn’t value. The transition to lean production is difficult.
Building an organizational culture where learning, empowerment, and continuous improvement are the norm is a challenge. However, organizations that focus on KIT, quality, and employee empowerment are often lean producers. Such firms drive out activities that do not add value in the eyes of the customer: they include leaders like United Parcel Service, Harley-Davidson, and, of course, Toyota. Even traditionally craft-oriented organizations such as Louis Vitiation (see the MM in Action box) find improved productivity with lean operations.
Lean operations adopt a philosophy of minimizing waste by striving for perfection through contain souse learning, creativity, and teamwork. They tend to share the following attributes: use KIT techniques to eliminate virtually all inventory Build systems that help employee produce a perfect part every time Reduce space requirements by minimizing travel distance Develop partnership with suppliers, helping them to understand the needs of he ultimate customer Educate suppliers to accept responsibility for satisfying end customer need Eliminate all but value- added activities.
Material handling, inspection, inventory, and rework are the likely targets because these do not add value to the product Develop employee by constantly improving job design, training, employee commitment teamwork, and empowerment Make jobs challenging, pushing responsibility to the lowest level possible Build worker flexibility through cross-training and reducing job classifications Method of scheduling at Eurasia airline ticket counters, the focus of the system on adjusting to customer demand. But rather than being accommodated by inventory availability, demand is satisfied by personnel.
Through elaborate scheduling, ticket counter personnel show up just-in-time to cover peaks in customer demand. In other words, rather than “things” inventoried, personnel are scheduled. At salon, the focus is only slightly different: the customer and the staff are scheduled to assure prompt service. At McDonald’s and Walter, scheduling of personnel is down to 1 5-minutes increments, based on precise forecasting of demand. Additionally, at McDonald’s, production is done in small lots to ensure that fresh, hot ambusher are delivered just-in-time.
In short, both personnel and production are scheduled to meet specific demand. Notice that in all three of these lean organizations – the airline ticket counter, the salon, and McDonald’s – scheduling is a key ingredient. Excellent forecasts drive those schedules. Those forecasts may be very elaborate, with seasonal, daily, and even hourly components in the case of the airline ticket counter (holiday sales, flight time, etc. ), seasonal and weekly components at the salon (holidays and Fridays create special problems), and down to a few minutes (to respond to the daily meal cycle) at McDonald’s.
To deliver goods and services to customers under continuously changing demand, suppliers need to be reliable, inventories lean, cycle times short, and schedules nimble. A lean focus engages and empowers employees to create and deliver to customers perception of value, eliminating whatever does not contribute to this goal. Lean operations are currently being developed with great success in many firms, regardless of their products. Lean techniques are widely used in both goods-producing and service- producing firms; they just kick different. There are several benefits to the LEAN approach.
Amongst there things, we can identify here some tangible and significant benefits; Reduction in lead time for the delivery of products and services; Increase in productivity; Reduction of inventory levels and of and Work-Len-Process (of material or intellectual nature, such as information); Improvement of quality (with a reduction of errors, and of the change orders that often result from these errors); Increased simplicity of processes (simplified to maximize the added value); Lightened document management (with a reduction of paperwork and related procedures); And of course, reduced consumption of sources used in production (raw material, energy, etc. ).

The work is hard and routine, and the hours are long. The high level of productivity demanded by DEL occasionally generates complaints from Teamsters Union members.
When faced with the alternatives of hiring full-time Or part-time employees so that they can train them and, by means of thoroughly researched process and job designs, install a strong sense of teamwork and job satisfaction.

DIGIT Telecommunication Service Digit is one of the Tells provider among 4 other known giant Telecoms market shares in Malaysia. Eve been subscribing these services for the past 4 year.
The reason why choose Digit compare to others Telescope’s/ices such as Maxis and Cellos is because the price package for internet, call in/out, messaging is cheap. Yes, at the point of time, I must admit that the services is terrible, sometime the phone called suddenly out of signal/coverage area, the message send to intended recipient cannot get through or more likely lost with the wind. Now, Digit is already improving, there are upgrading their revises from time to time to accommodate an increasing customers. Initially, Digit, is not my best choice of Tells service due to the poor services and unfriendly users that they have provided to me. But nevertheless the reason why choose Digit is likely because of their price offer can be consider inexpensive and worth for money.
Dig’s contract smart phone services, Eve been tied to their contract for almost 2 years even though was not smooth but lately they have improve their service tremendously for example surfing the internet via smart phone or used Digit as internet hub is no longer hustle. The call in/out is no longer an issue, same as for incoming/outgoing SMS. Another good part of this Telecoms company is that, they give their customer ample time to pay for the bills. Yes, I must say that my expectation using the services is increased. So far, what I can experience was the internet services is change already the performance. When I said the performance is okay is because when I start using keep call or video conference call via smartened, there is no lagging, and its rarely happened. But the rule is simple, cannot move around while attempting the keep called or conference called.
