Features: Value Engineering (VE) is a systematic management technique and an engineering management method that has been proven to be highly effective in countries worldwide. Since its application began with General Electric in the United States, it has been over 60 years. In the U.S., the A-131 Value Engineering clause formulated by government agencies has been fully applied to engineering management in legislative form. In Japan, thousands of value engineering experts are active in major companies, making outstanding contributions to Japan becoming a manufacturing powerhouse. At the annual meeting of the Japan Value Engineering Association, over 90% of the attendees come from enterprises. In the UK, France, Australia, Canada, and many Commonwealth countries, the application of value engineering has also been highly effective, achieving remarkable results. This book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the traditional theories and methods of value engineering, while also elaborating on the latest research findings in the field, hoping to inspire readers. This book can serve as a training manual for corporate VE personnel, as well as a textbook for VE courses in universities. Additionally, it is hoped that after obtaining certification from SAVE International, this book can be used as a training manual for MODI for associate value engineers.
