Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value engineering (VE) is a recognized technique for reducing costs while maintaining or improving productivity and quality. The Department of Defense's (DOD) VE program consists of both government- and contractor-developed cost-reduction projects designed to reduce a system's life-cycle costs. In response to Congress' request, we agreed to provide information on (1) the role the VE program has played in supporting cost reduction in DOD weapons system programs and (2) the alternative measures program managers take to reduce costs and/or incentivize contractors. In summary, we found that the VE program has made a minimal contribution to cost reduction in DOD. Value engineering is only one of a number of approaches used by the services to control costs, and its use varied significantly from project to project. In part, its limited use is attributable to new cost-reduction initiatives introduced by the department since the 1990s and in part due to the cumbersome processes required to implement the program. Perhaps, more importantly VE projects are typically undertaken during production or after a system has been fielded. At this point, opportunities for substantially reducing costs are more limited. Our work on commercial best practices suggests that the opportunities to significantly influence costs occur earlier in the life cycle of a system. Generally we found significant variance in both the use and support of value engineering throughout the services. For example, neither the Air Force or the Navy have full time staff resources dedicated to the VE program and consider VE just one of many tools available to reduce costs. At one Navy buying activity, we could not identify any VE projects, while at other Air Force and Navy buying activities we identified isolated instances where VE projects were being undertaken. In contrast, the Army has a more structured program with staff resources committed to managing the program and developing VE projects. However, even within the Army, there were variances in management emphasis from command to command. For the 11 weapons system programs we examined, we found that DOD program managers use a variety of strategies as alternatives to or in conjunction with VE. But how or when VE or other strategies are used varies by project. Like VE, other strategies often seek to motivate contractors to submit cost-reduction ideas and sometimes provide opportunities for contractors to share in the savings. Some program managers said they consider the VE tool or methodology, but said they use other approaches better suited to their programs or integrated into their management approach. The limited use of the VE program has been the result of a changing acquisition environment and the administrative burdens associated with the program. DOD introduced a variety of new cost-reduction initiatives in the 1990s as it looked for ways to reduce costs and create a more efficient acquisition environment. DOD also changed its procedures and processes to foster greater efficiency and cost effectiveness. For example, DOD encouraged programs to replace military specifications and standards with performance specifications, giving contractors configuration control and resulting in less need for contractors to submit changes to DOD for approval. Administrative requirements also contributed to limited contractor participation in the VE program. The proposal process is seen as complex and resource intensive.

Download or read book Value Engineering in the DOD Acquisition Process written by Michael Gluck and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes Value Engineering from its conception and introduction into the defense systems acquisition process. The Value Engineering discipline, the emphasis, interest and image is described together with its interrelationships with other recent developed cost reduction techniques. Finally, the issue of revitalizing Value Engineering from top Government officials is addressed and recommendations offered. The data and narrative in the report is based on interviews with key personnel in the Value Engineering Office of OSD, DA and DOD components. The revitalization and renewed interest is supported with copies (Appendices C through I) of memoranda and letters among OSD and DOD level. (Author).

This book was released on 1983 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value engineering, a technique for reducing cost and improving productivity, has been used by Defense for 20 years. Recently, the Department has stressed this technique to reduce weapon systems acquisition costs under defense contracts. Although increased savings have been reported, Defense was still more than $300 million short of its fiscal 1982 savings goal. Navy lagged behind the other services. GAO believes that value engineering should be integrated into Defense's overall approach to reducing costs and improving productivity. GAO also believes that value engineering savings will increase if Defense (1) provides high level support and visibility, (2) recognizes value engineering achievements, (3) increases contractor awareness, and (4) better manages the Navy program. DOD agreed with GAO's conclusions and said it would improve its value engineering program. (Author).
