Description: "Value Engineering (or Value Analysis) is widely used to study and apply cost-saving techniques during a product's life cycle; from design and development to purchasing and manufacturing. The implementation of Value Engineering results in "more for less," and it is rapidly becoming the favored method of planners and engineers to design parts, equipment, and products in a way that will provide the lowest possible cost without sacrificing reliability." "In Value Engineering: A Blueprint, James Brown uses his vast experience to explain fully every aspect of the subject from its history to application. It takes the novice or experienced engineer through every phase of the process, step by step, and even explains how to write a VE report. Value Engineering is so important that Armed Services Procurement Regulations specify that all contracts over a stated dollar value must include either a VE program or incentive clause. Read this important book and discover how Value Engineering can contribute to your company's success."--Jacket.
