    Project merger XLSmart sudah mau jalan, bagaimana cara memastikan vendor akan mencapai target instalasi? ⚠️1. Sebelum project dimulai, kita harus melakukan meeting dengan vendor untuk saling memahami timeline project dari awal sampai target berakhirnya project. Membagi ke dalam 3-4 milestone project sebagai checkpoint pencapaian di Q1, Q2,Q3, Q4 ⚠️2. Memastikan pihak vendor mengerti proses Instalasi dari awal hingga akhir yang memenuhi standar yg diharapkan termasuk keselamatan dan keamanan pekerja ⚠️3. Q1 akan menjadi kunci kesuksesan Q2, Q3 dan Q4 atau hingga project selesai. Adalah penting untuk memonitor daily progress status dari hari pertama dan mengidentifikasi common issues di project sehingga tahu cara menyelesaikannya. 👍

    Set clear milestones and deadlines in the contract with incentives for on-time completion. Maintain regular progress reviews through weekly status meetings and request detailed updates. Use project management tools to track tasks and timelines effectively. Establish clear escalation procedures to address any potential challenges quickly. Conduct site inspections to ensure progress aligns with expectations. Foster open communication to encourage collaboration and proactive problem-solving.

    I suggest starting with the foundation of the installation process. You must ensure that there are standard procedures in place and that vendors comply with them. After this step, monitoring actions—such as setting clear expectations, conducting regular check-ins, and implementing incentives and penalties—become realistic and mutually justified. This workflow ensures that vendors meet installation deadlines.

    Solid advice! Here's what's worked for us: 1️⃣ 'Reverse deadlines' – Have vendors set their own target dates (they commit harder when it's 'their' timeline) 2️⃣ Public dashboards – Live updates keep everyone honest (and competitive 😉) 3️⃣ Coffee bribes – Early deliveries get Starbucks cards (surprisingly effective!) What’s your secret weapon for keeping vendors on track? (Bonus points if it involves snacks or whiteboard wars 🍕)
