Barriers Process DesignChange Management Investment Decision ImplementationIntroduction Change Management
Establishment of change management from the beginning
Change management is not an independent process but has to be understood as an
elementary component of project management and established at the start of the project.
It is important in the VR context that all affected parties are involved at an early stage. This
includes not only the IT that procures the VR system, but above all, designers who use the
services of a VR center and need the results for their work. In particular from this side
resistance is likely, as VR is often dismissed as a gimmick.
Basically, employee´s response toBasically, employee´s response to
change is always similar, but
systematic change management
can significantly reduce its negative
effects (see picture).

Transfer of existing introduction methods from CAD / PDM / PLM
Example: Integration in business processes
In practice, this means considering VR as
another application whose data is being
managed and versioned as part of a
(hopefully) existing PLM environment
The basics for this are laid in the CAD; if
necessary, the previous CAD methods
must be adapted in order to achieve
such a degree of automation. ("Only

Conclusion
Only in hindsight the benefit of a structured VR selection appears (from
benchmark scenario with a tendering character to the specific project
partner)
Even a structured introduction of VR often is not obvious
Structured is not synonymous with elaborate and complex
Numerous fields of action, thereby many possibilities for errorNumerous fields of action, thereby many possibilities for error
Intensive preparation and change management is essential
The surveyed companies are generally well positioned
o in organizational structure
o in qualification
Some of the surveyed companies are not well positioned
o in corporate culture, special mentors
o in procedural organization
The greatest potential lies in procedural organization and PDP integration

Barriers Process DesignChange Management Investment Decision ImplementationIntroduction Change Management Establishment of change management from the beginning Change management is not an independent process but has to be understood as an elementary component of project management and established at the start of the project. It is important in the VR context that all affected parties are involved at an early stage. This includes not only the IT that procures the VR system, but above all, designers who use the services of a VR center and need the results for their work. In particular from this side resistance is likely, as VR is often dismissed as a gimmick. Basically, employee´s response toBasically, employee´s response to change is always similar, but systematic change management can significantly reduce its negative effects (see picture).

Change of management structure needed? How? 3. Integration into the existing IT environment Which hardware and software? How should the PLM/ PDM connection look like? Does the high-end system (CAVE, cluster, ...) need a special integration (own network, no corporate image - only the most necessary, ...)?
  • 24. Barriers Process DesignChange Management Investment Decision ImplementationIntroduction Transfer of existing introduction methods from CAD / PDM / PLM Example: Integration in business processes In practice, this means considering VR as another application whose data is being managed and versioned as part of a (hopefully) existing PLM environment The basics for this are laid in the CAD; if necessary, the previous CAD methods must be adapted in order to achieve such a degree of automation. ("Only what is provided with a mark can Definition of target processes (process organization) Process Design (hopefully) existing PLM environment As part of an integrated change process, the data formats required for VR must be generated as automatically as possible Conversion servers and plot management systems generate automated, correspondingly filtered neutral formats for further processing in subsequent process steps what is provided with a mark can automatically be filtered in case of structural simplifications") Methods for simplifying standard parts or for FEM simulation of specific assemblies are well known
