4. Today – How We Work
Environment: Large, growing scope, mostly alarm driven, poor automated procedural support,
many uncoordinated sources of data
Consequences: Reactive Response, Inconsistent Performance, Lower Profits, Lessened Safety
Environment: Complexity, Push to Extend Old System Lifespan, MoC, Loss of Experience, Diagnostic challenges
Consequences: Problems Solved Slowly, Deferred, Suboptimal Solutions, Lowered Production Value, Lessened Safety
Environment: Extend Equipment Life, Limited Resources, Limited Diagnostic Information, Loss of Experience, Lack of
Maintenance Centered Automation
Consequences: Problems Solved Slowly, Sub-optimal Solutions, Lowered Production Value, Lessened Safety

5. Today – How We Work
Environment: Unclear view of Business Strategy, Operational Strategy, and Execution of same, People Unclear of
their Personal Impact on Business
Consequences: Lower revenues, profits, scale, market share; Employee Dissatisfaction; Risk to License to Operate
Environment: Unclear view of Cyber-Security and Plant Safety State, Lack of Comprehensive Understanding of
Cyber-Security and Plant Safety
Consequences: Latent and/or Unaddressed Threats Leading to Lost Production and Damage / Harm
