DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS & FINANCE MANAGEMENT

Challenge
Position facilities engineering function / department as a P&L partner.

Action
Created virtually "self-managed" department - implemented monthly and quarterly budget tracking / financial analysis system, streamlined business processes, and delegated administrative functions.

Result
Contributed as much as $88,136.00 to company's bottom line in 2001 and succeeded in operating the engineering department at or below budget every year (despite facility's 25+ years age).

Analysis
With my team handling many of the daily administrative and financial functions, I could focus on achieving new goals in project management, customer service, and relationship building in support of the brand.

"Allan is able to keep the team's efforts focused on the most productive activities. He is a total hotel team player. He has positioned the engineering department to be extremely supportive of all operations and focused on internal and external customers as the priority."

- Donna Collings, General Manager

"Over the five years I have been here, I have seen Allan's leadership first-hand. He has brought his team through major and minor projects always concentrating on his final goal: making this facility the best in its class and exceeding customer expectations. He continually adheres to all Marriott standards with regards to the property and service and has made customer safety his top priority.

The Engineering Team has undergone an outdoor piping project, an outdoor landscaping improvement project, construction of a new pool patio, a six-million dollar guest room renovation, improvements to our kitchens and restrooms, a complete renovation of our Mansion (one-hundred year-old historic property adjacent to our building), and most recently, a indoor plumbing and piping project that came straight through our Executive Office space. Each of these projects has been seamless to our daily operations and I applaud Allan's efforts, dedication, and constant communication."

- Karyn Joy Rivera, Executive Assistant to the General Manager & Director of Operations

"It is truly refreshing to find a facilities manager that appreciates the value that engineering brings to any project. Allan Lawrence is actively involved in all phases of the engineering process, offers insightful comments and adds the essential element to project success: in depth knowledge of the facility."

- Joseph Mizrahi, P.E., Vice President, Lizardos Engineering Associates, P.C.
