TL;DR: The problem: Value creation and delivery are recurrently mentioned in the literature as important drivers for effective business and IT decision making, but knowledge concerning value creation is commonly offered in vague, informal and subjective terms.
Abstract: The problem: Value creation and delivery are recurrently mentioned in the literature as important drivers for effective business and IT decision making. However, the knowledge concerning value creation is commonly offered in vague, informal and subjective terms and, for that reason, corporate executives and IT staff depend mostly on personal expertise, background and intuition to practice what theory recommends.

TL;DR: In this paper, value engineering (VE) is applied as an evaluation approach for highway improvement plans to evaluate the highway improvement and maintenance in Japan, and the authors verified the effect of VE as a valid approach for the evaluation of highway improvement plan to help the best plan fitting with all of conditions and limitations.
Abstract: Highway improvement and maintenance have supplied the economic development and enhanced our life convenience greatly. However the economic and social conditions changed heavily in Japan. The long period economic inactivation, the low birthrate and longevity constrain the investment to public projects strictly. The public works meet the criticism for the estimation of the effect and the mismatching between the projects and the local needs with any new highway improvement project contemporaneously. In this study, I applied VE (Value Engineering) as an evaluation approach for the highway improvement plans. The work started with the function definition and finished with the proposal of design principles on improvement plan. Finally, the study verified the effect of VE as a valid approach for the evaluation of highway improvement plans to help us to choose the best plan fitting with all of conditions and limitations.

TL;DR: Sensible values for life and health are proposed as a substitute for the current practice of using virtually infinite value in some engineering decisions, and zero value in other decisions, e.g., flood control evaluation.
Abstract: Sensible values for life and health are proposed as a substitute for the current practice of using virtually infinite value in some engineering decisions, e.g., high dam design, and zero value in other decisions, e.g., flood control evaluation. Recommended human values are based on the lifestream of earnings that would be foregone in the event of death or disability. Computing procedure is illustrated by examples. Results are compared with other sources. The technique is considered adequate for immediate use and until something better is devised.
