VALUE ENGINEERING

Abstract

A study to identify the necessary elements for a joint DoD/industry value engineering undertaking was prepared for ASD (I and L), encompassing methodology, criteria, evaluation, change procedures, level of effort, organization, selection and incentives. Evaluation by OSD of this report was made. It encompasses necessary measures to (1) reinforce DoD's already stated endorsement of the V.E. program, (2) update ASPR periodically to provide substantial financial incentives to defense contractors for successful performance of V.E., (3) develop improved training programs, (4) give wide distribution to the V.E. Handbook H-111 throughout the defense/industry complex and (5) issue a V.E. specification to establish minimum standards for performance of V.E. under program requirements clauses in defense contracts.
