Value Engineering
- Value engineering is a systematic method to improve the value of products.
- It uses rational logic and the analysis of function to identify relationships that increase value.
- A unique how and why questioning technique.
- It a thought process that is based exclusively on function.
- What something does, not what it is.
- Function is always described in two words; an active verb and measurable noun.
- For example, a screwdriver used to mix paint would be described as "blend liquid".
- Another example, a pencil used to write would be described as "make marks".
