Introduction 1.0

The report's aim and objective is to show a comprehensive understanding of the varying aspects of value management / engineering. CULLEN, S (2010) describes value engineering as ”A conscious and explicit set of disciplined procedures designed to seek out optimum value for both initial and long-term investment.”

CULLEN, S (2010) goes on to further explain its origins, which lie in the manufacturing industry during World War II. Larry Miles is the most accredited individual in regards to the term value analysis. Value analysis is the term given...
