Engineering Design Handbook: Value Engineering
Abstract
Value engineering is, in fundamental terms, an organized way of thinking. It involves an objective appraisal of functions performed by parts, components, products, equipment, procedures, services-anything, in short, that costs money. The VE approach is aimed at harvesting necessary function for lowest cost; it checks the upward spiral of costs, but locks all the essential product reliability, performance, and maintainability into the value engineered item.
