Course Outline -Value Engineering Course Outline -Value EngineeringValue Engineering is a two- or three day (16 to 24 hour) on-site program developed for design and manufacturing engineers, IEs, production managers, and anyone involved with producibility issues. The program is unique in that it introduces VE principles and procedures and then reinforces the lessons with work on example problems, and, optionally, real company projects.
In the three day program, teams work on preselected projects which may have a real cost impact after the workshop. Projects selected may involve paperwork and procedures, design of new hardware, or redesign of an existing product. Teams composed of multiple disciplines are the best approach in this session.
