Value engineering is a systematic process that analyzes functional requirements to achieve essential functions at the lowest total cost while meeting performance, quality, and safety needs. It involves gathering information, analyzing functions, brainstorming alternatives, evaluating and selecting ideas, and implementing solutions. Value engineering can reduce costs, risks, and schedules for projects through improved designs and collaboration. It follows a structured process and uses function analysis to identify alternative approaches that deliver the best value. Benefits include cost savings, risk reduction, and improved designs.
Value engineering is a systematic approach to reducing unnecessary costs while maintaining product quality and reliability. It answers the question of what else can accomplish the intended purpose at a lower cost. Value engineering was developed at General Electric during World War II to deal with material shortages by finding acceptable substitutes. Over time, it evolved into a broader application across industries to reduce total product costs through the consideration of development, production, and application costs. The goal of value engineering is to reliably provide necessary functions at the lowest overall cost through a planned approach.

This document discusses applying value engineering techniques to enhance the value of a slit housing component used in microscopes. The current slit housing design and manufacturing process were analyzed. Alternative designs and materials were brainstormed, and options were evaluated based on criteria like ease of use, durability, and cost. Implementing the proposed design changes resulted in a 36.79% reduction in per unit cost, translating to annual savings of over Rs. 573,200 for an annual demand of 10,000 units. The value engineering goals of identifying unnecessary functions, adding desirable functions, and reducing costs through eliminating redundancies were achieved.
Value engineering emerged during World War 2 to efficiently use scarce resources. It systematically reviews designs to deliver required functions at the lowest cost while maintaining performance. The value engineering process involves 8 steps - orientation, information gathering, idea generation, analysis, development, presentation, implementation, and follow-up. Case studies demonstrate how value engineering identified cost savings for test machine components and a corporate office building by modifying materials and designs without compromising quality. Value engineering is an effective tool for reducing unnecessary costs in products, services, and construction.
Value analysis and value engineering are techniques to reduce costs and improve value. Value analysis aims to reduce cost value to the value of the product through an organized creative approach. Value engineering is a systematic process that focuses on improving the value of required functions to meet performance goals at the lowest cost. It examines individual cost components and their value to customers. Value engineering is used on existing projects, processes, products or services to reduce costs, improve quality and customer satisfaction through identifying problems and recommended solutions. It proceeds through phases of planning, information gathering, creativity, evaluation, implementation and reporting.
Detailed project reports are documents created for planning, decision making, and project approval. They contain key project details to guide execution and control. There are different types created at various stages, including inception reports made early on with raw data and feasibility studies to support investment proposals. Inception reports provide initial ideas and seek input, while feasibility reports analyze surveys and define system objectives. Both include essential contents like project descriptions, costs, schedules, and conclusions. Detailed project reports ensure projects are properly defined and addressed to stakeholders' satisfaction.
This presentation discusses value engineering and its eight step process. Value engineering is a systematic method to improve value by examining functions to identify unnecessary costs. It aims to increase value by decreasing costs while maintaining performance, or increasing performance if customers are willing to pay more. The eight steps of value engineering are: preparation, information, analysis, creation, evaluation, development, presentation, and verification. The goal is to develop alternative designs that lower costs while fulfilling required functions.
Value analysis and value engineering are techniques used to identify unnecessary costs in products, processes, and services. Value analysis is traditionally used after development to analyze existing offerings, while value engineering is used during design and development stages. Both use a team approach and function analysis methodology to reliably deliver necessary functions at the lowest total cost over the lifecycle in order to maximize value for the customer. Larry Miles is considered the founder of these techniques which he developed at GE in the 1940s and which have since been widely adopted.

The document then discusses how VE was used in the Bregana-Zagreb-Dubrovnik Motorway project in Croatia. VE studies identified opportunities to reduce costs and accelerate the project schedule. Specific changes included increasing the length of climbing forms for viaducts from 4m to 5m, which reduced formwork costs. Overall, approximately $43 million and 12 months were saved through VE applications on the project.
The document provides an overview of value engineering, including its definition, purpose, and methodology. It defines value engineering as a systematic process that focuses on improving functions at the lowest cost while maintaining quality. The methodology involves 6 steps: information gathering, functional analysis, creativity, evaluation, development, and reporting. It also provides an example case study comparing the use of middle barrettes versus concrete bored piles for constructing a general cargo berth project at a port. Using piles was found to potentially reduce costs without compromising quality or functionality.
Cost management is the process of planning, estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs to help ensure a project is completed within its estimated budget. It involves setting budgets for costs, monitoring actual costs, ensuring costs remain aligned with forecasts, and taking action if actual costs exceed budgets. Effective cost management techniques include cost estimating, budgeting, and cost controlling processes like variance analysis and earned value management.

Application of Value Engineering in Commercial Building Projectsnitinrane33
The current construction industry conditions have entailed the use of rational method and techniques and
research and application of new techniques by utilizing advancements in technology in the field of production as well as in
every field. Value Engineering is a proven management technique that can make valuable contributions to value
enhancement and cost reduction in construction industry. Value Engineering is one of the most effective techniques
known to identify and eliminate unnecessary costs in product design, testing, manufacturing, construction, operations,
maintenance, data, procedures and practices. The methodology is composed of three main stages. The first stage is the
Pre-Study of the Value Engineering. The purpose of this stage is to plan and organize the value study. Value Engineering
is the systematic application of recognized techniques that identify the functions of the product or service, creatively
establish the worth of those functions, and provide only the necessary functions to meet the required performance at the
lowest overall cost. Value Engineering focuses on accomplishing the required functions at the lowest overall cost. It helps
in eliminating or minimizing wastage of material, time, and unnecessary cost, which improves value to the customer. The
second stage is the Value Study which is the core of Value Engineering study and it is composed of five phases, the
Information phase, Function Analysis Phase, Creative Phase, Evaluation Phase and the Presentation phase. All phases
and steps perform sequentially. Such sequence of the methodology is expected to assist in logical and systematic flow of
the process to achieve the targets of the VE study. The third stage is the Post Study. The objective during post-study
activities is to assure the implementation of the approved value study change recommendations. In this study, how the
principles of Value Engineering are applied in construction projects is explained, and by taking case study on commercial
building as the sample project, practices of Value Engineering in this project are described.
1: Value Analysis provides great turnaround in the operations of the businesses.
2: Use Value Analysis to analyze and understand the detail of cost for specific situations.
3: Use it to find a focus on key areas for innovation.
4: Use it in reverse (called Value Engineering) to identify specific solutions to detail problems.

Management of time uncertainty in agileijseajournal
Agile software development represents a major departure from traditional methods of software
engineering. It had huge impact on how software is developed worldwide. Agile software development
solutions are targeted at enhancing work at project level. But it may encounter some uncertainties in its
working. One of the key measures of the resilience of a project is its ability to reach completion, on time
and on budget, regardless of the turbulent and uncertain environment it may operate within. Uncertainty of
time is the problem which can lead to other uncertainties too. In uncertainty of time the main issue is that
the how much delay will be caused by the uncertain environment and if the project manager comes to know
about this delay before, then he can ask for that extra time from customer. So this paper tries to know about
that extra time and calculate it.

Value Analysis Value Engineering & Business Process ReengineeringT HARI KUMAR
Value analysis is a systematic process for reducing costs without compromising quality. It was developed at General Electric after WWII due to shortages. Value analysis identifies the function of a product/service and ensures that every cost contributes proportionally to the function. It has seven phases: selection, analysis, recording ideas, speculation, investigation, recommendation, and implementation. Value analysis provides benefits like reduced costs, improved profits and customer satisfaction.
The document discusses product design and development. It covers 6 categories of new products, the new product development dilemma, the new product planning system, design of the product, responsibility for design, stages of a design project, use of critical path analysis in design, reducing design costs, integrated management of new product development, and the 8 stages of new product development including idea generation, screening, concept development and testing, marketing strategy development, business analysis, product development, market testing, and commercialization.
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
3. Value Engineering:
It is method of improving value of product that project produces.
It applies to everything because every project has function.
Mostly , it takes place after the completion of design process.
Value is calculated as ratio of function to cost.
Value = Worth/Cost = Function ( Utility ) / Cost
4. History:
The concept of value engineering started in 1940 at General Electric
CO.
This was during second world war , when there was shortage of
materials & skilled labor.
Therefore Lawrence Miles , Harry Erlicher , Jerry Leftow & other
engineers launched effort to make concept systematic.
A process which not only reduced cost of production but also
provided better performance is known as value analysis.
Name was suggested by engineers.
6. Job Plan:
Value engineering is often done by following steps;
Lawrence Miles original system was based on 6 step procedure ,
which he called value analysis job plan.
Modern Version has 8 steps.
These are discussed as;
7. 1. Orientation Phase:
Identify issues.
Arrange issues.
Draft scope & objectives.
Establish evaluation factor.
Determine study team.
Collect data.
Prepare for value study.
8. 2. Information Phase:
All team members participate in determining true needs of project.
Areas of high cost or low worth are identified.
3. Functional Phase:
Functional analysis outlines the basic function of product using noun
& verb.
e.g boil water as in case of battle where boil is verb & water is noun.
9. 4. Creative Phase:
This step requires certain amount of creative thinking by team.
A technique that is useful for this type of analysis is brainstorming.
This stage is concerned with developing alternative.
5. Evaluation Phase:
In this step , value analysis team judge ideas created/developed
during construction phase.
The value analysis team ranks the ideas.
Ideas that represent greatest potential for cost saving &
improvements are selected for development where as irrelevant ideas
are disregarded.
10. 6. Development Phase:
The team develops selected ideas in to proposal with sufficient level
of documentation to allow decision makers to determine if proposal
should be implemented.
7. Presentation Phase:
This phase is actually presenting best alternative to those who have
authority to implement the proposed solutions that are acceptable.
11. 8. Implementation & Follow Up Phase:
I. Develop an implementation plan.
II. Execute plan.
III. Monitor plan to completion.
During this phase , management must assure that approved
recommendations are converted in to actions.
