34:37min I always call that 5S training. And so that's crucial that employees at all levels of an organisation must receive adequate training in 5S for the system to be effective, including upper management, supervisory, maintenance staff, employees on the floor. In 5S, everyone is responsible for doing their part to maintain the system and be secure in the workplace where people understand the thinking behind 5S, not just the steps and tasks they must perform. So, 5S training should explain the pillars of 5S in the application in the workplace and how does the 5S fit in the company goals. And again, it's very important for each role, and each person will play a role in maintaining an effective 5S work. Really simple work. Everyone gets involved, from the director to the shop floor people.

Welcome to Episode 82 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Mr Simon Elias on the show with us today.

I think, based on what I said, focusing on the people dimension is a critical, critical thing.  You've got to find ways of encouraging, incentivising people, you know, to want to do this, tapping into this intrinsic motivation.  And there are lots of things available to do that, I think.  I think getting people to understand process thinking scientific thinking that's the basis that everything is based on: process and thinking.  

You know, as Deming said, If you don't see what you do as a process, you don't know what you're doing, you know, and that's the big barrier.  A lot of people don't think process is for them.  It's for the people in the call centre on the factory floor.  But for the management, you've got to adopt processes of thinking.  And you know, it's about scientific thinking, becoming a learning organisation as well, you know, one that facilitates the learning of its members and then continually transforms itself. 

For me, this is the basis of which it all starts and sustains.  Yes, you've got to have the right capabilities and the skills and customer focus and value.  But it's that people dimension, process thinking, scientific thinking, and becoming that learning organisation.  For me, concentrate on that first, because that will be the basis on which everything will be successful, I think.
