How to proceed with building a Windchill environment using the "VRD package"
Condensing best practices! Building an efficient PLM system through workshops.
In the VRD method, we utilize "VRD packages" that are organized by business process and combine them to advance the implementation. This package and the workshop are key to building the Windchill environment. As of September 2025, the VRD package includes 14 offerings such as "Document Management," "CAD Data Management," "E-BOM Management," and "Change Management," with additional packages tailored for Japanese companies being added and expanded. The implementation process involves project planning and kickoff, followed by a system foundation workshop, and then the "Best Practices Workshop" is conducted. In this workshop, we confirm business procedures and system settings using Windchill's standard features with the customer's representatives, building the environment through consensus formed via advice. *For a list of VRD packages and detailed information on the specific progression of the Best Practices Workshop, please download the materials for more details.*
