KM&T is a leader in the application of “Lean Thinking” – a business improvement methodology developed by car giant Toyota in the 1950s. Lean tools & techniques are proven to improve efficiency, safety and financial performance for a wide range of industrial and service sectors around the world. KM&T has established a firm foundation within healthcare through its support across the NHS, whether coaching management on strategy or improving the quality of care received by patients.

Now a strategic focus for the business, KM&T has recently appointed Steve Casey as Director of Healthcare. Casey (39) has joined the Coventry company after a career with Toyota, PricewaterhouseCoopers and more recently Unipart. He said: “We have completed over 50 projects across the UK from whole hospital organisation transformation down to smaller improvement projects in areas such as Accident & Emergency”

“Our advice and the adoption of our methods have brought identifiable benefits not only for patients but has also led to improved staff morale”

“Healthcare is constantly evolving and facing increasing pressures to deliver better patient care for less money”

“The need to therefore identify opportunities to improve the patients experience cost effectively is something high on the agenda of every healthcare organisation.

We are confident of the real value we can offer to the healthcare sector and we are building our new division to reflect the support that we can provide these organisations”

KM&T was established by Steve Boam – a world renowned expert on Lean Thinking – Adrian Jones, Gareth Harris and Darren Jones
