TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical criterion for optimum allocation of resources for reliability improvement exists that requires equal marginal failure reduction for all elements to be improved, but this criterion is of little practical value because suitable expressions for failure reduction as a function of resource expenditure are not available.
Abstract: : Present methods for planning reliability improvement of launch vehicles are reviewed. A theoretical criterion for optimum allocation of resources for reliability improvement exists that requires equal marginal failure reduction for all elements to be improved. This is of little practical value because suitable expressions for failure reduction as a function of resource expenditure are not available for all elements of the launch vehicle. A key finding is that a good practical approximation for the marginal failure reduction is the failure/value ratio which can be computed from available information. This permits a criterion previously only of theoretical importance to be used in a practical situation. (Author)

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the cost of green buildings in the area of southern Yangtze River are higher than cost of ordinary buildings, and they implemented green building cost control and the value improvement through the value engineering analysis.
Abstract: The green building is crucial, and is attracting more attention. The appropriate energy-saving technologies can maximally save resources and protect the environment. The major functions of green building rely on some key saving energy technologies using in building.Statistical analysis shows that cost of green buildings in the area of southern Yangtze River are higher than cost of ordinary buildings. The value engineering analysis can realize green buildings' value improvement in the functions of environment, energy and comfort. Implementing green building cost control and the value improvement through the value engineering analysis is very important.

TL;DR: This case-study concerns the value chain simulator (VCS), developed by INCONTROL for Fokker Aerostructures, which enables the users to deal with all relevant parameters for manufacturing, logistics and financing in early project phases.
Abstract: Simulation has proven to be a successful method for analyzing and improving value chains and cost price analysis in complex environments, such as aircraft production. This case-study concerns the value chain simulator (VCS), developed by INCONTROL for Fokker Aerostructures. This VCS enables the users to deal with all relevant parameters for manufacturing, logistics and financing in early project phases. The Fokker VCS is integrated in the current ERP system, so all relevant design parameters including Bill of Material, Bill of Processes and Bill of Resources are imported in the VCS and the simulation model is built up automatically. Since all financial parameters are included in the model, eventually the cost-price development of the manufactured parts over the full delivery period is calculated using simulation. The simulation application has already achieved benefits, but the final goal of this ongoing development is to accomplish an application which supports aircraft manufacturers in determining the Total Cost of Ownership for their products.
