A Simplified Way of Implementing Value Engineering for Public Works

Abstract:

VE is frequently seen as a luxury management tool with a high implementation threshold which potential adopters may find intimidating. How to implement VE in the face of various objective conditions and resource situations is a critical issue for increasing the breadth and depth of VE implementation. The paper develops an innovative Office VES (OF-VES) for use by public agencies suffering from insufficient financial, human or technical resources. OF-VES can be used by smaller public administration departments to successfully reduce the threshold for resource-poor public administrations to implement VES, thus promoting the application of VE.
