Value Engineering
A systematic route to cost-effectiveness, performance and efficiency without giving up quality. We reduce material and production cost, improve function and make products easier to manufacture.
Every stage, in order
Gathering information
We establish the details of the project — the requirements, the functionality, and the constraints the design has to live inside.
Evaluation
Every method of meeting the project's requirements is weighed on cost, feasibility and risk, so the comparison is made on evidence rather than instinct.
Alternative generation
We develop alternatives that deliver the same function at lower cost, then test them against the original constraints.
Presentation
Findings are presented with the cost consequence of each option made explicit, so the decision sits with you and is easy to defend.
Our process — mechanical value engineering
- Product analysis and cost breakdown
- Function-cost-worth analysis
- Material optimisation and alternate selection
- Design simplification and standardisation
- Process optimisation and manufacturing cost reduction
- Performance enhancement and reliability improvement
