This book is an introductory value engineering course in easy explanation for all students and professionals. The scope, sequence and depth of the concepts are designed to match the typical value engineering and value analysis course syllabus. It includes interesting features that help understand connections between scientific concepts and the everyday world.
The book conveys the major themes of VE such as value analysis, value methodology, value management and FAST analysis, and features vast examples and case studies to understand better. The main focus of this book is to integrate the basic concepts of value engineering and their application in today’s world. It also presents some of the case studies and FAST models of the products of the modern world which are being used in the present times. The book is composed of 5 modules, each focusing on a specific topic:
1. Value analysis
2. Value engineering
3. Functional analysis
4. FAST modeling
5. Applications of VE/VA
Aspiring and active practitioners will benefit from the case studies of FAST diagrams, which is one of the main substances of the book. Students will gain useful insights into the concepts, processes and steps by referring to this book, thus completing the academic foundation for value engineering.
