Your majesty. The present design is being used since the time of Babur without any failure. We should not risk any design change. Saheb, there is no doubt that the present sword designed by you for my Grandfather’s army is superior. However, let us test this new design in our barracks.If they pass the tests, we will deploy them in the battle field.

Birbal! I wonder how you developed these ideas! Is there a systematic way by which others can also be trained to generate such ideas. Yes, your Majesty. With the help of Functional Analysis System Technique(FAST) any body can generate such ideas. FAST is a powerful tool used in Value Engineering (VE) which is an extremely effective system to improve products and services for cost and productivity improvement. Yes, your Majesty.

I want you to teach the engineers in each of these divisions the application of Value Engineering (VE), especially the Functional Analysis System Technique(FAST). Each division should release Armoury Change Requests (ACRs) for the worth of Rs.25 lakh. Birbal! There are four divisions in my army – Infantry, Cavalry,Artillery and Elephant brigade.
