VE aims at reduction in a budget, improvement of function, structural safety and quality security for public construction projects. However, there is possibility for the structural safety and quality security review to be insufficient because related regulations are mostly composed of analysis on economic efficiency of design. In addition, due to the misconception about VE as a cost saving methodology, an alternative is being presented which still focuses mainly on cost saving, but with no objective evaluation of function related to cost. In order to improve this, the government adopted the reduction of life cycle cost and proposal of value improvement, and let people specify the cost and function of the original plan versus the alternative plan, and the value changes between them. However, it is written mainly into practical convenience rather than theoretical basis since a specific way is not suggested. The current method sets a different starting point by applying the attributional difference of function and cost. Furthermore, an evaluation standard for correlating is an important element in rational decision making for assessing and choosing an alternative. This paper analyzes the process and method of function & cost scoring when performing VE and suggests a mathematical normalization model in order to support rational decision making when selecting an optimum plan.

Was used at step space-time mainly after VE technique sponsors in domestic in the 1960s but have been expanded to design step recently. Possibility of value elevation or cost reduction must choose member that is effectively for active and effective application of VE technique. In this study, when enforce design VE examining for weight decision corrosion protection been using in weight grant composition estimation technique, target choice process wishes to suggest formality and method that can be achieved effectively Main conclusion of this study sorts valuation items step by step for weight appropriation of valuation basis and give point on article of high position point after expert which employer is included estimates article by low rank step and this presented high position method that do union item by item and establishes by item weight.

Development work of apartment houses is a complex medium-and long-term project requiring grand resources and work force. Since in combination inner and outer project variables relate to project output, uncertainties caused by not only a given site condition but also politic, economy and social sectors are generated during the project. These risks influence output of the project as important factors, and ultimately as management variables in priority giving an effect on earnings and the financial structure of enterprises they should be manageable with the risk reduction plan. In this point of view, this study focused on development work of apartment houses among construction project. Risky factors were deduced, analyzed and evaluated based on Value Engineering from planning to designing to executing to maintaining. Eventually, this study showed the foundation guaranteeing competitive power of public and private construction sectors.

Design value engineering (VE) has been performed in many construction projects according to the changes in the construction for most of the VB function analysis that performed, are problems that focus on function analysis and generating ideas based on individual experience of VE team member than generating ideas and value improvement of systematic function analysis. This may be due to the quotation of previously performed function analysis data, general function analysis, and abstract function definitions that do not cite the concrete characteristics of each facility. Therefore, in this study, the proposed cases from the existing design VE workshops, the current conditions of the connection between functions and ideas and of the idea categorization by building part were studied to determine why functions and ideas are not connected, and to propose pertinent improvement directions. on a performance-based function categorization system by building part that can provide the logical connection between functions and ideas in the function definition/categorization and function arrangement phases in the function analysis phase, the most important phase in VE activities, was developed by reflecting the required performance and functions for each part of the facility.

This study presents an algorithm to select the best alternative plane among various bridge superstructure types(Steel box girder, Rational girder, PSC-I girder) using Value Engineering(VE). Economical efficiency, landscape, constructability, maintenance, stability, function of bridge superstructure were taken into consideration in the designing of bridge. Economical efficiency was evaluated for each alternative plan with optimal design considering Life Cycle Cost(LCC). Repair and rehabilitation histories and some factors were set to get reasonable results. In the application of Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP), consistency of Pairwise Comparisons Matrix was evaluated and the best plan was determined.

VE is used as a powerful tool to add value to facilities by improving functionality and reducing costs. By identifying the client's requirements in the VE process and reflecting them in the quality model, the developed alternatives meet the client's requirements. However, there is no process to verify how the developed alternatives reflect the needs of the client through functional analysis, idea generation and evaluation. The purpose of this study was to develop, verify, and prove the effectiveness of a methodology for evaluating client satisfaction with alternatives developed during the VE Job Plan. The KANO model, which can identify the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of requirements in product planning, was set as a methodology for alternative verification procedures of VE, and was improved and applied to the purpose of this study. As a result, the alternative evaluation method developed in this study was found to be useful. It is expected that the KANO model will be used to evaluate the satisfaction of VE alternatives in the VE Job Plan analysis.

A steel pallet to carry lighter logistic articles is developed based on the DFSS(design for Six Sigma) methodology. Combining the conventional DFSS(Design For Six Sigma) methodology with that of VE(Value Engineering) is the novel feature of this paper to achieve maximum cost reduction. In this paper, systematical steps to achieve the required structural spec's are presented by conventional DMEDI(Define-Measure-Explore-Develop-Implement) process. To imply the target costing, evaluation of functions consisting of the pallet has been performed by value methodology. Then best design concept is selected in the Explore step, following structural optimization utilizing FEM. Finally the performance of prototype is investigated by pilot test in the Implement step. The developed steel pallet is being commercialized in the fields of automated ware house.

Digital documentation is now becoming a must throughout a building process including design, construction, inspection, procurement and even facility management. The Internet is a backbone of such process, and web-based information exchange is the standard among other mainstream technologies. The current information management techniques, however, is heavily dependant on the server-side processing, which naturally results in the overload of the overall system. This paper proposes an XML-based approach in order to resolve such problems. A VE system was developed to demonstrate the efficiency of the XML solution, in term of efficient VE data management and fast decision making. also in this paper suggests 1) introduce XML based DBMS to improve data management efficiency and 2) introduce Mobile Computing to improve data accessibilities on sites.
