TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to identify ways of reducing direct and indirect costs of snow and ice control program by $3.3 million and it was necessary to zero-in on high pay back areas that would have a high probability of being accepted and implemented.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify ways of reducing direct and indirect costs. The ultimate results of this effort will be to reduce costs of our $10 million snow and ice control program by $3.3 million. The study method differs from what is generally considered "Value Engineering", in that the scope was much broader and strategies were employed throughout the study to make recommendations acceptable to those responsible for results. Also, it was necessary to zero-in on high pay back areas that would have a high probability of being accepted and implemented. A description of the narrowing process is given in hope that it will be useful when examining the program. The study is prefaced by some background information on how this and other studies are initiated within maintenance operations.

TL;DR: In this article, value analysis and value engineering concepts were applied to the design of a small overhead travelling trolley to achieve maximum savings from modifications to the existing design, whilst that of value engineering was the development of a conceptually new design directed towards minimum manufacturing cost.
Abstract: This paper deals with improvements in manufacturing effectiveness found possible through examination of design and machining requirements for light mechanical/electrical lifting equipment, manufactured on a batch basis. Value analysis and value engineering concepts were applied to the design of a small overhead travelling trolley. The aim of the value analysis was to achieve maximum savings from modifications to the existing design, whilst that of value engineering was the development of a conceptually-new design directed towards minimum manufacturing cost. The potential changes and savings from both approaches are described. In the machine shop capacity study, components were first coded and classified by the VUOSO system and a representative sample, by value, taken as the basis for the process planning investigation. By reference to revised machining methods, standard data, and the maximum use of special tooling, jigs, fixtures and carbide tooling, a possible average reduction in machining time of appro...
