Strategic Lean Improvement Methodology (SLIM) for the Health Sector -
Modelling
Warwick Business School
*25,134 - *30,012 pa
Fixed Term Contract for 36 months
The purpose of the project is to evaluate the implementation of
improvement technologies in health care, using systems approaches,
modelling and qualitative methods. You will be based in the Operational
Research and Management Sciences Group in Warwick Business School (WBS)
and will be part of a multi-disciplinary team incorporating: Professor
Ruth Davies and Dr Zoe Radnor from WBS, Dr Neil Davis from Warwick
Manufacturing Group and Professor Matthew Cooke from Warwick Medical
School together with another Research Fellow in WBS. The project is
funded by the EPSRC Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre.
You will be working with an acute Trust concerned with the sequential
implementation of improvement methodologies in patient treatment and
care, using simulation and other modelling techniques to improve and
evaluate these changes. The project is also concerned with the
retrospective analysis of the implementation of lean approaches in
several different acute trusts. Where relevant, you will use modelling
techniques to complement the more qualitative evaluation methods to be
used by other team members.
The study requires collaboration with a wide range of health care
professionals and therefore you must be able to communicate effectively
with all levels of seniority and be able to both organise your own work
and to work as part of a team. You must have a PhD in Operational
Research or a related discipline and must have experience of simulation
modelling ideally in health care. Furthermore you must be able to
publish in peer reviewed academic journals and conference proceedings
and be able to present at national and international conferences.
