VALUE ENGINEERING AND EXPERIENCE CURVE PREDICTIONS

Abstract

The booklet illustrates situations in which experience curve techniques may be applied as an aid in analyzing a VECP (proposal by a contractor for a change in a value engineering clause). The booklet deals with general situations which one might incur in dealing with value engineering problems. The method of dealing with the experience curve techniques and value engineering problems to state a problem in terms of specific figures and give a sample solution using these figures. The formal equations and theory used for the solutions are given in a separate section from the examples. The solutions are directed toward obtaining the total savings and the average savings per unit for some given quantity as the result of a value engineering change made at some point in production.
