TL;DR: Target costing as mentioned in this paper is a cost management tool that helps managers cut costs by focusing on profit and cost planning over the entire value chain, and the most difficult part of this process is making the cost improvements necessary through value engineering methods in order to achieve target cost.
Abstract: Considered in this paper is target costing, a cost management tool that helps managers cut costs. Target costing focuses on design and the entire life of a product. The objective of the method is to provide adequate profits by focusing on profit and cost planning over the entire value chain. The most difficult part of this process is making the cost improvements necessary through value engineering methods in order to achieve target cost.

TL;DR: A case study of temporary facilities for a large power plant project is presented, and includes the VE steps and actual results in this paper, which suggests that the implementation of VE study for temporary facilities of construction projects could lead to a significant cost reduction, particularly in mega projects and remote projects.
Abstract: Value engineering (VE) is a technique for reducing costs while keeping the required function, and improves performance and quality. It can be applied in many areas. In construction projects, VE is typically carried out for the project itself, but not for mobilisation and temporary facilities. For large and remote construction projects, the cost of mobilisation and temporary facilities is considerably high. So, a VE study could lead to a significant saving in the construction costs. This paper provides evidence of the significant saving that resulted by implementing VE for temporary facilities of a construction project. A case study of temporary facilities for a large power plant project is presented, and includes the VE steps and actual results. The main findings of this study suggest that the implementation of VE study for temporary facilities of construction projects could lead to a significant cost reduction, particularly in mega projects and remote projects

TL;DR: The new model is set up based on the value of multi-objective decision theory and the theory of value engineering evaluation to consider the subject of technology and business assessment standard, using the ratio of the value to compare and sort of the bidding program.
Abstract: This article first analyzes the Lack of evaluation methods of Hebei provisional, basis on the domestic and foreign scholars’ research results, then set up the new model based on the value of multi-objective decision theory and the theory of value engineering evaluation. The model to consider the subject of technology and business assessment standard, using the ratio of the value to compare and sort of the bidding program, and enhance the comparability between the tender program At the same time, the use of AHP the evaluation experts from a more fair and rational evaluation to determine the weight and ensure the authority and impartiality.
