Lecture 07 Problem Identification & VEJP

This document outlines the key steps and phases in problem identification and value engineering job planning (VEJP). It discusses defining the problem, identifying background issues and constraints, and outlining the seven phases of a VEJP: orientation, information, functional analysis, creative alternatives, evaluation, development, and presentation. The final implementation phase develops and executes an implementation plan to see the project through to completion.

Lesson 07

Problem Identification and VEJP


Dr. Inderdeep Singh
Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

1
Problem Identification

Defining the problem is the most important


step (five W’s)
• Who ? - would need it
• What ? - is needed
• When ? - is it needed
• Where ? - is it needed
• Why ? - is it needed

2
Steps in defining Problem
• Identify the Background Issues.
• Resources and constraints of the firm.
• Objective of the decision maker.
• Buyer behavior.
• Legal environment.
• Economic environment.
• Marketing and technological skills of the firm.

Value Engineering Job Plan
• Orientation
• Information
• Functional analysis
• Creative alternatives
• Evaluation
• Development
• Presentation
• Implementation
Orientation Phase
✔ Identify issues

✔ Prioritize Issues
✔ Drafts scopes and objective
✔ Establish evaluation factors
✔ Determine Study Team

✔ Collect Data

✔ Prepare for value study

Information Phase
• Gathering and tabulation of
information concerning the item
as presently designed

• Areas of high cost or low worth


are identified

Functional Analysis Phase
• Function Analysis is a technique
used to identify and understand the
needs of the project, product or
service, (what does it do, what must
it do).
• Function Analysis supports creative
problem solving by moving the focus away from
the expected solution and placing the focus on the
required performance or need. Source:-http://valueanalysis.ca/functionanalysis.php
Creative Alternatives
The Value Engineering Cycle
• Opportunity for the team to produce alternate
means of performing the functions associated with
the product, service or project.

• The goal is to generate as many ideas as possible in


a short period of time. This can be accomplished
through Function-based Brainstorming.

• All team members, including the stakeholders and


designers, participate in the creative brainstorming
session.

Evaluation Phase
• The ideas generated from the Creative Phase are
systematically evaluated, screened prioritized and
short-listed for their potential to save cost and/or
value.

• Ideas found to be irrelevant or not worthy of


additional study are disregarded.

• Those ideas that represent the greatest potential


for cost savings and improvements are selected for
development.

9
Development Phase

• The objective of the Development Phase is to


develop the idea/alternative in sufficient detail
for the idea to be compared the originally
proposed solution.

• It enables the proposals to be developed


systematically and evaluated against the
proposed solution.

10
Presentation Phase
• The Presentation Phase is the team's
opportunity to present the proposals
in better way than the originally
proposed solution.

• It is also an opportunity for decision


makers to question the team and
assess the depth of analysis that has
taken place.

11
Implementation phase
• Develop an implementation
plan

• Execute the plan

• Monitor the plan to completion
