Abstract :
This paper attempts to provide a methodology for selecting the product to which to apply Value Engineering (VE). It briefly summarizes existing VE methodology and points up the deficiencies. The technique is a sensitivity analysis of diagrams of networks which indicate the cost interdependencies of the product. By determining the areas with the highest cost reduction potential, VE efforts can be concentrated on these. Thus, VE can be made more cost-effective.
