Abstract
Value-engineering is basic in all engineering that creates products with end-use objectives. It is the heritage given to us by all past and contemporary scientists and engineers. Every engineer who has created or improved a commercial product for a highly competitive market knows from experience what value-engineering means. It cannot be learned in two weeks. Value-engineering is a lifetime discipline in applied sciences to produce functional products with minimum expenditure of money and human resources.
