Value FM - Value Engineers

Facilitation

We assist you in setting up and facilitating your Value Engineering Studies and coach your value engineers. Optimising designs for any good reason.

Commitment to value creation

We facilitate studies (including workshops) using Value Engineering, Value Management, Value Analysis, Design for Value, and more. We bring insights from Competitive and Market Analysis, understanding the Voice of the Customer, and strategies like Design to Cost and Design for Manufacturing. We use methodologies such as Lean Engineering, Tear Down, and Systems Engineering ensuring a holistic approach to your projects.



Comprehensive services

Value Engineering study facilitation starts from the initial planning to the final execution. Identify the problem, define the approach, manage the creative phases, and handle complexities of elaboration and scoring. Whether you want an in-house training for your value engineers, need coaching on complex projects, or train dedicated specialists to drive your initiatives, we have you covered. Every study is well prepared, executed, and concluded, striving for optimal outcomes.

Value Engineering studies: always made to measure

While each project might have unique needs, our commitment remains constant: to design the study's content meticulously from start to finish. We recognize the valuable expertise you contribute and skillfully combine it with external insights from both your network and ours, as needed, spanning across mutual extensive national and international connections. While we have standardized methods suitable for numerous applications, we prioritize customization. Our team of value engineers will engage with you, comprehend your objectives and outcomes, and subsequently suggest the ideal study format.

Location - anywhere..

Collaborating closely with our clients, we ensure that the location of the study aligns with your preferences. Whether you choose to conduct it in-house, at a nearby location, or at a remote venue that sparks inspiration.





Why choose a Value Engineering study?

For organizations contemplating a Value Engineering study, we encourage diving in. The benefits we deliver consistently outweigh the costs. Such is our confidence in our process that for select projects, we stand by a 'no cure, no pay' assurance. The proof of our effectiveness lies in your results.

Trust and return on investment

The decision to optimize flagship projects or particularly challenging products isn't one to be taken lightly. It requires collaboration with partners who understand the gravity and complexities involved. With a mere 95% of Value Engineering studies and trainings showcasing over 100-fold returns within the first year, the results speak for itself. That not only includes the immediate financial gains but also long-term value and sustainability these studies bring to projects.
Getting started

How to initiate a Value Engineering study?

First contact

Contact us. We'll explore together if Value Engineering is the right solution for the challenge, where your organization currently stands, delve into your project, its stages, and speak about both the documentation and stakeholder viewpoints.

Follow up

Let's devise a strategy tailored to your timeline, expectations, and desired outcomes. We'll brainstorm the best ways to tackle challenges and craft a narrative that's logical, transparent, and agreeable to everyone involved.

Contracting and costs

Drafting a contract for a Value Engineering study is typically straightforward. We're here to help optimize and work diligently to bring it to fruition. We prioritize confidentiality, signing NDAs as usual. The in-depth study, however, requires more time and attention.

The results pay themselves back

Many value engineering studies lead to cost savings. But we go beyond mere cost-cutting. We consider the outcomes, the client's needs, and aspects like maintenance efforts. Almost every Value Engineering study yields returns that far outweigh the investment, whether it be on capital expenditures, or operational expenditures.

No-cure-no-pay

While this model might raise eyebrows, there's a strong rationale behind it. It's not just a statement of confidence in the Value Engineering study process, but it also emphasizes the alignment of interests between the facilitator and the client. In the vast landscape of investments, few can claim to offer returns as substantial as those achieved through Value Engineering studies. Beyond mere numbers, it's the tangible improvements, operational efficiencies, and strategic advantages that truly stand out. Discover the ideal model for you with us.

When to start?

When's the best time to begin? Start early, ideally when designs can still be adjusted and improvements made. Or when innovations are welcome! Often, "it's too late to change" becomes a barrier to change, optimisation and innovation. Is that a smart choice? Begin from the beginning. Embrace awareness and learning. Focus on systems and projects that need attention right now.

The way we challenge the status quo is by questioning based on ancient principles and modern methods, using visuals, asking questions, and using plain language.
