MIL-HDBK-115B(ARMY) APPENDIX D

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF VE STUDY SUMMARY AND VE PROPOSAL

1. General. In accordance with AR 5-4, all in-house VE proposals must be the results of a Value Engineering Study. This form was designed to combine the two functions of documenting the study effort and presentation of the VE proposal.

2. Proposal Preparation. Instructions for preparation of STRBE-FM 13-8.

Block: VE STUDY OR PROJECT NO - Obtain from the BRDEC VEPM.

Block: ORIGNIATOR'S NAME, TITLE, SIGNATURE - Name of person(s) responsible for the proposal.

Block: DATE, OFFICE, PHONE NO - Self explanatory

Block (1) - Provide the name of the item or part being studied, plus part no. if available.

Block (2) - Provide the name of the major end item, process or system for item being studied. Ex. Engine-Driven Generator.

Block (2a) - List appropriation code, program element number IAW AR 37-100-84. Ex. AC: OMA, PE: 644714.19400.

Block (3) - INFORMATION PHASE. Record all pertinent information and data you have gathered; anything that has an influence on the item being studied.

Block (4) - FUNCTION. Describe the primary function of the item being studied in the verb- noun format; e.g., "The primary function of a file cabinet may be to organize files."

Block (5) - SPECULATION PHASE. List (at least two) alternative solutions being considered, one of which will be selected for the VE proposal.

Block (6) - EVALUATION PHASE. In brief terms, describe advantages and disadvantages of each alternative listed in Block 5, above.

Block (7) - DEVELOPMENT PHASE.

a. Need for Change. Enter either the problem the VEP intends to correct, or the new capability the VEP intends to provide.

b. Indicate selected alternative and why it was selected.

c. List known contracts which will be affected by this change.

Block (8) * - List all costs required to implement the alternative/change. Block (9) * - Estimated savings.

Block (10) * - Unit savings.

* Cost estimates should be supportable and documentation furnished.

Block (11) - DISPOSITION. Approval/disapproval must be indicated. Signature of immediate supervisor.
