Value Engineering in the DOD Acquisition Process.

Abstract

The report describes Value Engineering from its conception and introduction into the defense systems acquisition process. The Value Engineering discipline, the emphasis, interest and image is described together with its interrelationships with other recent developed cost reduction techniques. Finally, the issue of revitalizing Value Engineering from top Government officials is addressed and recommendations offered. The data and narrative in the report is based on interviews with key personnel in the Value Engineering Office of OSD, DA and DOD components. The revitalization and renewed interest is supported with copies (Appendices C through I) of memoranda and letters among OSD and DOD level. (Author)
