VALUE METHODOLOGY
 

What is Value Methodology?
 

Function oriented problem solving methodology

Focuses on improving value by optimizing performance and cost

Can be applied to any project or problem from any discipline
 

The Value Methodology exists under several different names, such as value engineering, value analysis and value management. There are no essential differences between these designations and they are, for all practical purposes, interchangeable. The term value engineering has been traditionally used whenever the Value Methodology is applied to the construction industry or industrial design; the term value analysis for concept planning or process applications; and the term value management for administration or management applications. Value Methodology is the term most commonly used today and refers to the comprehensive body of knowledge related to improving value regardless of the area of application.  Value Methodology is formally defined as:

The systematic application of recognized techniques which identify the functions of the product or service, establish the worth of those functions, and provide the necessary functions to meet the required performance at the lowest overall cost.
