TL;DR: In this article , an integrated framework between value engineering and building information modeling is proposed to assist in determining the best alternative in terms of the type of usage for existing structures by conducting BIM methodologies such as a feasibility study which includes present value, cash flow and the bank interest rate, and BIM software such as Revit and Primavera.

TL;DR: In this article, a process modeling method based on IDEF0 for industrial value chain (IVC) is proposed to identify the drivers and trajectories of upgrading, and a mapping model based on QFD (quality function deployment) is developed to investigate the relationship between the value process elements and the technology elements.
Abstract: To identify the drivers and trajectories of upgrading, process modeling method based on IDEF0 for industrial value chain (IVC) is proposed. With a top-down modeling procedure, an industrial value chain is decomposed into structured layers of value creating processes involving elements of inputs, outputs, supporting mechanisms and constraints. Technology elements relating to these Value Process elements are analyzed to distinguish the technology drivers of upgrading. A mapping model based on QFD (quality function deployment) is developed to investigate the relationship between the Value Process elements and the technology elements. The proposed approach is applied to LED (Liquid Emitting Dioxide) industries for illustration.

TL;DR: Value engineering is introduced into a selection of optimal technological innovation projects and multistage fuzzy synthetic evaluation is adopted, which can be programmed to be used in similar fields, so it is of high practicability.
Abstract: Value engineering is introduced into a selection of optimal technological innovation projects. The function and cost factors of a project have been analyzed from the viewpoint of the whole enterprise, and new index systems of evaluation on the project are constructed. Since many factors influence the success of a technological innovation project in direct ways or in potential indirect ways, it is difficult to find a common appraisal method to achieve a satisfactory and effective scientific result. Therefore, multistage fuzzy synthetic evaluation is adopted. In addition, this novel method can be programmed to be used in similar fields, so it is of high practicability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the success of implementing value engineering (VE) and mass customization (MC) together, specifically related to their employment at a leading specialty chemical company in Northeastern USA.
Abstract: Mass Customization (MC) has been a relatively recent phenomenon, introduced in Management circles as a new frontier in business competition for both manufacturing and service industries. Value engineering (VE), on the other hand has been around since as early as World War II, and has established itself as a powerful tool for cost reduction as well as for product and service improvements. The focus of this thesis is to study the success of implementing these two initiatives together, specifically related to their employment at a leading specialty chemical company in Northeastern USA. MCNE projects are playing an impbrtan~ role in helping this company to lower its costs and , shorten delivery times for its diverse system offerings. What are the parameters of success of an MCNE project, i.e. what are some of the conditions that foster a positive result in them? More importantly, what are the measures of success of an MCNE undertaking? What underlying organizational, logistical, and "human" issues does management need to be aware of before applying MCNE techniques? How can the Company ensure success in future MCNE efforts? These are some of the questions tackled in this paper. The author has researched these projects as they have been executed in the organization's Electronics Engineering , Division. Informa!ion related to the MCNE projects, as employed in the improvement of the design and manufacturability of three of the Division's product lines, has been gathered via surveys, interviews, and company records, in order to try and test the propositions put forward by the author. The results of this study indicate that the organization's MCNE projects are indeed successful, as defined by the researcher..The researcher has identified two .,,;.....~,:-' ..

TL;DR: The evaluation of an empirical real estate project research is used on the evaluation model of the real estate value engineering program based on ANP, which shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the model.
Abstract: This article is written from the point of value engineering application in the real estate program. By analyzing the connection between the function and the cost of the project, combining the specific circumstances of the case, it builds the evaluation model of the real estate value engineering program based on ANP. Finally, the evaluation of an empirical real estate project research is used on this evaluation system, which shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the model.
