ABOUT LECRONE COMPANIES Since 1993, LeCrone Companies has helped many organizations improve the quality of their processes, services to customers, and improve organizational performance as a result. Our customers range in size from very small to very large international organizations. The varied types of customers we serve have included manufacturing, transportation, distribution, state / federal agencies, service, education, and healthcare. Our approach is to completely understand the current situation of your organization specific to your continuous improvement goals through an upfront assessment visit. Unlike some of the larger consulting firms, we customize the training and consulting to meet your specific needs and desired outcomes. We hire only practitioners who have numerous years of experience to draw upon. Our goal is to help you become self-sufficient in the specific focus of our continuous improvement consulting or training. Therefore, our plan will include actions that will ensure your efforts can be sustained and integrated into your culture long term. Typically, our customers continue to seek our services each time they desire to seek another area of continuous improvement. Some have been with us for 10+ years. Michelle LeCrone, C.P.I.M., founder of LeCrone Companies, has helped people and organizations improve performance. As a consultant and in her previous corporate career, she was Materials Manager, Production Control Manager, Continuous Quality Improvement Manager, and backed up several Plant Managers with a multinational organization for almost twenty years. Michelle also served as a Total Quality Instructor for Bowling Green State University. She has been recognized as an expert in team development and process improvement as a result of her success in developing national and state Team Excellence Award winning teams. She has successfully helped improve inventory accuracy, reduce inventory levels, improve production control and planning processes, improve materials flow, improve business planning, and implement self-directed work teams, systematic business and strategic planning, and CQI teams. She has helped organizations to implement small incremental process improvements, as well as major culture changes which have included self-directed team implementation, Total Quality system integration, and many other business improvement processes. Recently, Michelle has founded Accelerated Learning Support Institute as a result of extensive work with schools in improving their performance by implementing Student Ownership Accelerated Learning. This process incorporates many of the CQI principles into methods that work to improve student achievement. Some sample results are: Reading grade levels have increased by an average of 1 whole grade level in three months; some as high as 2 – 3 grade levels. Math facts that have been mastered by 98% of students in 1 month. Significant reductions in discipline referrals.
