  2. Value engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_engineering

    Value engineering can lead to the substitution of lower-cost materials, as with the exterior cladding that accelerated the Grenfell Tower fire in London. [1] [2]Value engineering (VE) is a systematic analysis of the functions of various components and materials to lower the cost of goods, products and services with a tolerable loss of performance or functionality.

    In December 1947, the basic Value Analysis Functional Approach was established. 1961 - Miles wrote the definitive book, Techniques of Value Analysis and Engineering, published by McGraw Hill and Co. It is now [when?] in its 3rd edition and is printed in twelve languages. He retired in 1964 and died in 1985. [1]

    First published in 1894 by H. R. Kempe with W. Hannaford-Smith and then published annually, except during World War II, until 2002 [citation needed], [9] [10] the book was a standard source of reference for civil, mechanical, electrical, marine, mining, and other engineers. [11]

  6. Value-driven design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-driven_design

    Value-driven design (VDD) is a systems engineering strategy based on microeconomics which enables multidisciplinary design optimization. Value-driven design is being developed by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics , through a program committee of government, industry and academic representatives. [ 1 ]

  7. Earned value management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_value_management

    To measure cost performance, planned value (BCWS) and earned value (BCWP) must be in the same currency units as actual costs. In large implementations, the planned value curve is commonly called a Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) and may be arranged in control accounts, summary-level planning packages, planning packages and work packages.

  9. Real versus nominal value (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_versus_nominal_value...

    In various subfields of engineering, a nominal value is one for which the "name" for the value is close to, but not the same as, the actual value. Some examples: Some examples: Dimensional lumber sizes such as "2 by 4" refers to a board whose finished dimensions are closer to 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches by 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches ( 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches by 3 ...
