5.46 Value engineering.
5.46.1 Value engineering objective. A value engineering (VE) review of reverse engineering candidates may reveal cost drivers over and beyond the sole source restrictions. Some probable high cost drivers are: excessive material requirements, design defects, over design, functional redundancy, tolerance restrictions, excessive performance requirements, etc. When these or similar conditions are noted, consideration should be given to performing
value engineering studies prior to the completion of the reverse engineering process. A sample VE Study and VE Proposal form is provided in figure 5.
5.46.2 Documented results. The results of all studies conducted should be documented in a format suitable to support the inclusion of the dollars saving into the DOD Value Engineering accountability system. The documentation should include, as a minimum, the following:
a. Originating individuals name, title, signature, official symbol and phone number
b. Item, component or part studied, c. National/Federal Stock Number, d. Major end item/system/program,
e. Appropriate code & program element, and
f. Results from the five phases of the VE job plan: (1) Information phase,
(2) Function phase,
(3) Speculation phase,
(4) Evaluation phase, and
(5) Development phase.
