Value Engineering Studies
Value Engineering Studies (VES) are a systematic and structured process that improves the function or purpose of your projects, products and processes. A VES is designed to analyse and improve:
- Manufacturing products and processes
- Design and construction projects
- Business and administrative processes
- The cost base of your project
- Ensure that the functionality or purpose of the project will actually be achieved
​
A VES is conducted once your project has a detailed program of work at about 75% design phase and follows the 6 step SAVE international guidelines. It is especially helpful where clarity and detailed analysis of the proposed solution is required, before capital is committed.
​
Value Ink will make recommendations based on facts & data while taking into account life cycle costing and the effect of capital on EBIT/ROIC.
We focus on obtaining the best value for money whilst the concept of long thinking is preserved.
​
A VES helps achieve an optimum balance between function, performance, quality, safety and cost.
"Neil led many Value Planning Studies, Value Engineering Studies and Aim & Drives at Simplot, pulling together cross-functional stakeholders from across the business to ensure that Simplot extracted maximum value from its existing assets, products and new investments. I would not hesitate in recommending Neil to any organisation (especially complex ones) where the goal is to extract maximum value from existing assets, products or new investments."
