vendors' review, what will happen?

we r planning the vendors' review, starting with the management company, then all others, namely security, housekeeping, lift, electrical, pest control, swimming pool....

few objectives abt this exercise, reviewing their performance is primary one, we r sitting now with them, telling them what r the area need to be improved, of course we will give praise too, for the things which have blessed the residents.

another objective which is equally important, cost cutting, this exercise will enable JMB to zoom in to 1 vendor at a time, to really to study if we really need to spend the amount money to sustain their service, or perhaps we can consider reduce the head count, or working hour, ideal outcome is we will paying them less w/o sacrifice their quality of service. :)

as u can see in the notice board, we need residents to tell us how did the vendors performed so far, then we will hv more complete picture abt them, so pls write to us here, or our email, vistajmb@gmail.com.

let's work together, to make vista a better place to stay...

thanks.

tough but exciting time!

in spite of the financial difficulties we r facing, i'm actually quite excited with what's happening now.

contradicting, huh?

u will understand that once u see how the JMB committee members r so committed to think of ways to make $$$, & to cut cost, some said reduce vendor head count, some said cut office hour, some said direct hiring workers...all are good one! but we will take the time needed to process it, & if it's really beneficial to residents, then we will inform u guys b4 implement it.

other exciting changes may take place is regular vendor review, where the whole group of committee will sit down with all vendors, perhaps quarterly, to listen to them the challenges they facing here, & also telling them the area they need to improve.

Vista condo r so blessed coz the current & previous batch of JMB! the 1st batch of JMB had put in a lot of hard work to cause some very important changes, especially to form the JMB (it actually took abt 7 month of struggle & negotiation!), then replacing the inefficient vendors, did some major repair, they hv built the good foundation for the current JMB to continue the improvement to Vista. the good news is, the current JMB r equally committed as the previous 1!

no doubt we still be confronted by old problems like poor collection & vendors' performance, but i'm confident that in due time these all will be solved. coz in the past we only relied on awan setia to deal with these all, but now we hv 12 JMB committee members together with the residents to counter it!

i always believe that the solutions of various problems are already there, just waiting for us to discover them.

the future of Vista condo is bright, coz of the her residents & JMB.
