Reduction achieved by Ahlstrom through centralizing tribal knowledge
Ahlstrom Case Study
Comprehensive analysis revealing the $1.4 trillion global crisis, human factors in downtime, and the shift from prevention to resilience-centric approaches.
Critical research exposing how 80% of OT cyber attacks originate from IT networks, analyzing major incidents including Colonial Pipeline and JBS Foods.
Detailed case study showing 90% MTTR reduction through tribal knowledge centralization and the transformation from reactive to proactive maintenance.
Framework for measuring the reduction of loss through proper documentation, addressing the critical maintenance knowledge crisis.
Critical analysis revealing how vendor reference architectures guarantee non-compliance with the very standards they claim to implement.
The downtime paradox: while incident frequency decreased, costs per hour have surged dramatically across all sectors.
"Critical maintenance knowledge existed 'just in people's heads,' and as experienced technicians began to retire, the company faced the imminent loss of this invaluable tribal knowledge."
"The adoption of Ethernet on the plant floor acted as a Trojan Horse. While intended to break down data silos and enable Industry 4.0, it simultaneously imported IT's culture, tools, and security paradigms directly into the OT environment."
"Following vendor reference architectures guarantees non-compliance with the very standards they claim to implement."
