Training Course Overview
In its broadest sense, value represents the benefits a project provides to the client. Value Engineering (VE) is a structured, innovative approach that helps providers of products, services, or projects proactively collaborate with stakeholders to maximize project value, reduce life-cycle costs, and eliminate unnecessary expenses. VE focuses on optimizing return on investment by managing benefits throughout project planning, procurement, and execution. It allows design teams and organizations to explore and assess alternative ideas and solutions at any project stage, preventing wasted effort and ensuring optimal value that meets client needs. VE is not about choosing the cheapest option but about achieving the best value for money, enhancing productivity, competitiveness, and effectiveness, and fostering innovation.
This Value Engineering Skills training course offers expert guidance on achieving real benefits and cost savings through VE implementation. It emphasizes developing project scope, cost estimates, design solutions, and budgets. In the context of project management, the course significantly improves creative thinking, problem-solving, objective assessment, and informed decision-making skills.
This Anderson training course will feature:
The training course involves a practical case study which the delegates will undertake in working groups to build an understanding of the systematic step-by-step VE methodology to support the initiation, planning and application of VE techniques. It covers the following key elements of VE application:
- Forming and managing an integrated multi-disciplinary value engineering team
- Capturing stakeholders’ requirements and expectations
- Performing Function Analysis
- Generating alternative solutions through creative thinking techniques
- Selecting, presenting and implementing proposals
- Understanding cost models and life-cycle costing analysis
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this Anderson training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental concepts of Value Engineering and Analysis
- Understand how value engineering supports effective project and product management
- Analyse Functions and involve stakeholders
- Apply creative thinking techniques
