Practitioner workshop · 3–5 days
For product development, R&D, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, procurement and operations teams. Practise the method on a product, component or process and agree the next actions.
What the workshop covers
Prepare and analyse
Select a candidate, collect cost and performance data, and distinguish primary and supporting functions. Use the Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) to map how those functions connect.
Develop and compare alternatives
Follow the VE Job Plan from information and function analysis through creative work, evaluation, development and presentation. Use feasibility, cost, risk and performance to compare alternatives.
Plan implementation
Prepare a business case and a decision record. Agree owners, milestones and how the team will track benefits and lessons after the workshop.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Value Engineering and Value Analysis?
Value Engineering commonly informs design and development choices. Value Analysis applies the same focus on function and cost to an existing product, service or process.
What should the team bring?
Bring a candidate, its required function, cost and performance information, and any constraints. A cross-functional group can then test alternatives against the same criteria.
Can the training be tailored?
Yes. The duration and examples can be agreed around the organisation’s goals, participants and available baseline.
