What exactly is Value Analysis? What are the core elements of this methodology? And why has this approach been so successful for 70 years? How do you proceed within such a value analysis project? What are the tasks of a Professional in Value Management (PVM)?
This short explanatory video gives a first overview of the topic using the example of a construction project. The methodology Value Analysis is an organized and creative approach that applies a function- and cost-oriented design process with the aim of increasing the value of the value analysis object. It is characterized by:
• Functional orientation (basic idea: The customer does not want the object but its function / effect)
• Value concept (How can I increase the value of an object? How can I realize functions at the best price?)
• Holistic approach (integration of all stakeholders)
• Interdisciplinary teamwork (integration of employees from product development, production, sales, purchasing ...) with space for creativity
• Structured, step-by-step approach (according to the value analysis work plan described in the guideline VDI 2800) and
• Application neutrality, which means that the methodology can be used independently of the industry, from the phase of the project (from the concept phase to the existing product) and from the considered object (product, process, service).
How these core elements, responsible for the success of the methodology, are working together, is shown vividly. In 1947 Value Analysis has been developed in the USA by Lawrence D. Miles. The Technical Division Value Management / Value Analysis at the VDI has been the leading organization for the application, support and further development Value Analysis / Value Management in the German-speaking world since 1967. It also plays a leading role in the international community.
