Employee-centred process analysis for VR integration in product development
Ali Abughalia, Carsten StechertABSTRACT:
This paper explores the adaptation needs of employees in the context of implementing virtual reality (VR) in product development. Rather than analysing the overall process, the study focuses specifically on the employee aspects, including their roles, tasks, and challenges within the workflow. Existing work-related activities were analysed and visualized to identify inefficiencies. A set of tailored assessment criteria was created to systematically evaluate various sources of waste and process-related challenges.
