Value Engineering
”A philosophy implemented by the use of a specific set of techniques, a body of knowledge, and a group of learned skills.
It is an organized creative approach which has as its purpose the efficient identification of unnecessary cost, i.e., cost which provides neither quality, nor use, nor appearance, nor customer features."
Lawrence Miles, 1946, General Electric Co.
Value Engineering
A formalized method to• select customer critical functions• quantify value• relate customer benefits to costs• create and select alternatives• reduce costs• focus on effective action
Systems Approach• focused on customer and performance• applied at all stages of operation
Value Engineering
Applications•design, manufacture, inspection, procurement,installation, maintenance, i.e., the total life cycle of product, process, or service
Other terms•Value Engineering Value Analysis, Value
Improvement•Value Management - benefit/cost of all activities
Value Engineering
5 phase job plan• Information• Speculation• Evaluation• Development• Persuasion
Value Engineering
Information• get the facts about the problem• define the functions } FUNCTIONAL• evaluate the functions } ANALYSIS
Speculation• define alternatives } CREATIVE
} TECHNIQUESEvaluation• develop specifics for alternatives• costing, value matrix } VALUE• comparative cost-value chart } ANALYSIS
Value Engineering
Development• decide on alternatives• prepare implementation plans
Persuasion• report solution and action plan• anticipate roadblocks• SELL PLAN TO CUSTOMER
Value Engineering
Used by major corporations • in the new product introduction process (NPI), • in product/process renewal, • in quality assurance programs,• GE, IBM, Pratt & Whitney, Hydro Quebec, Transport
Ontario, Alberta Infrastructure,….
• VE is required for government contracts in the USA and in other countries.
• Many professional organizations in several countries Society of American Value Engineers (SAVE) Canadian Society for Value Analysis (CSVA –SCAV)
