Description:
The Value Methodology is a highly structured, group thinking process and is the primary technique by which value analysis, value engineering or value management is applied. Good value can be achieved through application of the Value Methodology (VM) by increasing quality and performance while at the same time reducing total cost. The Value Methodology can be applied to any product, process, procedure, project, system or service. Government, construction, environmental, industrial and service industries benefit from the VM process.
