Table 2 Value engineering methodologies

1

Information stage

Gathering and completing information, delimiting the study

2

Function analysis stage

Definition of functions, categorization of function, making function models, determining the value of functions, calculating the cost of functions, calculating value index, choosing functions to continue the study

3

Creation stage

A number of alternative ideas for each function are generated

4

Evaluation stage

Ranking and weighing the proposed ideas, choosing suitable ideas for development

5

Development stage

Efficacy analysis, completion of technical information, preparing implementation design plans, preparing final proposal

6

Presentation stage

Composition and presentation of the oral report and the written one
