Wixson - InstructorValue Engineering the Forgotten Lean TechniqueDon't look now, but an old discipline (value analysis/value engineering) is on the comeback trail. Originally called merely VA by its inventor, Larry Miles, an engineer in GE's purchasing operation in 1947, VA/VE uses a value equation that says value is equal to function divided by cost. If, for example, the buyer wants to get more item value, he/she needs to either increase the item's functionality at the same time he/she is containing cost; or he/she needs to reduce cost while holding or improving its functionality. Either way, the result is more value for the customer (Excerpt from Purchasing Magazine - "Value Analysis makes a comeback," Jim Morgan, November 20, 2003.").5University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, ID, Industrial Technology Program, PTTE434, J.R. Wixson - InstructorValue Engineering the Forgotten Lean TechniqueValue Engineering is truly the "Forgotten Lean Technique." However, over 50 years later, it has gained recognition in private industry and governmental agencies as an indispensable tool for cost reduction, improved product development and product re-engineering. It is also used to improve organizational performance and cost effectiveness as well. The heart of VA/VE is function analysis and "Function Analysis Systems Technique" that sets it apart from other lean methodologies by opening the door to creative problem solving that capitalizes on an interdisciplinary teams creative juices to arrive at truly value added, cost effective solutions to problems ranging from design problems, quality and reliability problems, to organizational problems resulting in increased value and performance for the customer and the organization.6University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, ID, Industrial Technology Program, PTTE434, J.R. Wixson - InstructorValue Engineering the Forgotten Lean ToolValue Engineering (VE) is an intensive, interdisciplinary problem solving activity that focuses on improving the value of the functions that are required to accomplish the goal, or objective of any product, process, service, or organization.VALUE METHODOLOGY“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.” John M.
