SimLean is the result of the three year SLIM research project carried out by the University of Warwick between 2008 and 2011. The SLIM project was a multidisciplinary project funded by the Warwick IMRC and led by the Warwick Business School (WBS), supported by the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and the Warwick Medical School (WMS).

In the following video presentation, which was given at the project dissemination event at UHCW in July 2011, Nicola Burgess outlines her analysis of the state of Lean in English hospitals from 2008 to 2010.
