Interrelationship Teardown in Value Engineering

摘要：

When performing Value Engineering Projects (VEP) we always look into different ways to improve the value (value=function/cost). However, rarely we think about adding cost to a project unless we add enough function to counterbalance the value. In this case of Value Engineering, we will see another way to counterbalance this equation. Instead of changing the function we are going to use the relationship among the players (either components or groups of components) to do the counterbalance. This analytical tool starts by determining the relationship among the players. After performing an interrelationship teardown to know how the players interact to each other, a sensitivity cost analysis is performed with different interrelationship scenarios. The outcome of the sensitivity cost analysis is either positive (a total cost decrease) or negative (a total cost increase) as a result of changing the players. We will then individually analyze the ones that have a positive impact to see their specific benefits. Later we will verify whether they are mutually exclusive to obtain the improved worth.
