About the VESPM Program
Value engineering skills teach teams to improve function at lower cost without reducing performance. Participants work through the value job plan: information gathering, function analysis, creative alternatives, evaluation, development and presentation of proposals. Cost and worth models, function diagrams and life cycle cost are applied to real designs. Delivered in-house at your premises or live virtual for your team, using one of your current projects as the study.
What You Will Learn
- Apply the value job plan step by step
- Analyze function using verb and noun definitions
- Build cost and worth models for comparison
- Create alternatives that keep required function
- Evaluate options against cost, risk and performance
- Calculate life cycle cost for design choices
