Aircon Services The Building Management System (BMS) is receiving an average of 133 complaints per month on air-conditioning services with 47 considered as “legitimate” complaints. Project Charter Resolving these complaints systematically will assure the requestor that BMS is reliable and effective thus providing a well controlled room temperature that is comfortable and a healthy work place for the requestor. Our AIM is to reduce the number of “legitimate” complaints from 47 to 6 complains per month. CAV
Problem Statement There are on the average 133 complaints received monthly on air-conditioning services with 47 considered as “legitimate” complaints. Although many of these complaints are similar in nature, the problems are not systematically and timely resolved , in some cases resulting to recurring complaints. It is perceived to have negative impact on the customer satisfaction level. Business Case Building Management System ( BMS ) is the front line to listen to complaints of staff particularly on the air con in their respective office. Resolving these complaints systematically reflects on the responsiveness of OAFA-FM and the service provider to assure the requestor that the BMS is reliable and effective. Consequently this action shall provide a well controlled room temperature that is comfortable and a healthy work place for the staff. The comfortable room temperature zone at ADB is set at 22.9 C – 24.9 C. Initially the project will be focused on the legitimate complaints of Hot room temperature (at above 24.9 C) and Cold room temperature (at below 22.9 C). Goal Statement Reduce the number of overall complaints by 30% from 1590 to 1113 annually thru the reductionof “legitimate” complaints to about 6 complaints per month from the present of 47.
Comfortable Office Room Temperatures Complaint –free air-conditioning services Operations Definitions: Monitoring and adjusting the temperature through BMS. How process will be measured: By complaints. Critical to Quality “6 legitimate complaints” or less per month Reduce overall complaints by 30% thru the reduction of legitimate complaints to 6 complains per month More than 6 complaints One opportunity per day.

MEASURE COMFORT ZONE • LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS : • Hot complaints at room temperature above 24.9 C • Cold complaints at room temperature below 22.9 C 2 kinds of complaints: HOT and COLD room temperature. These complaints were group further into 3 categories: BELOW, WITHIN and ABOVE the comfortable temperature Zone.
MEASURE This project will initially tackle the legitimate complaints: Hot-above 24.9C (25.1%) and Cold-below 22.9C (10%). These comprised 35.1% of the overall complaints.
MEASURE Hot complaints has generally higher percentage over the Cold complaints.

Analyze • The complaints related to air flow adjustment and temperature setting adjustment accounts for 75.1% of the legitimate complaints broken down at 37.6% and 37.5% respectively. • 2. The complaints which need fan power resetting due to malfunctioning of the unit and/or its ancillaries accounts for 17.2 % of the total complaints while 7.7% for the other causes.

Improve CONCLUSION The alternative hypothesis is accepted for our one-proportion test for both July and August 2007, we conclude that there is a significant reduction in air conditioning complaints after effecting the replacement of TEC and other air-conditioning control measures. It is further expected that the number of complaints will further be reduced after we synchronize all measures that will lead to an effective result and meet our target.
