Introduction

Value engineering and value analysis is a competitiveness enhancing method that focuses on maximizing the value of a product (process, project) by making sure it fulfills the clients’ needs, at the lowest cost possible. The approach is systematic and includes a multi-step job plan, which in turn uses many tools to do product or process analysis.
The training provides an overview of the whole job plan, including each phase of the job plan, explains the different uses of the methodology, what possible goals can be achieved, and when value engineering is useful.
