본 논문은 원가절감과 신제품 개발에서 사용되고 있는 VE(Value Engineering)중에서 기능을 높이거나 원가를 낮출 수 있는 아이디어 발상단계에서 TRIZ를 적용하는 것에 대한 기법 개선 연구이다. VE는 미 국방성에서 시작되어 지금은 거의 모든 산업분야에서 적용하고 있는 관리.기술 향상을 위한 혁신 tool이다. TRIZ(Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) 는 러시아 과학자 알트슐러에 의해서 만들어진 창조적 아이디어 발상을 도와주는 아이디어 발상 Tool이라고 할 수 있다. 수 십 만 건의 특허를 분석해서 40가지의 발명원리를 도출해내어 체계적으로 정립한 파워풀한 아이디어 발상 도구 인 것이다. VE활동 중에 원가 절감 또는 제품의 가치 극대화 시키는 아이디어 발상단계에서 TRIZ를 접목한다면 VE의 완성도와 성과가 더욱 높아 질 것이라고 판단된다. 지금 까지 사용해 왔던 브레인스토밍, NM법, 오스본 체크리스트 ${\ldots}$ 등의 아이디어 발상 기법도 훌륭한 방법이지만 좀 더 체계적이고 분석적이며 파워풀한 TRIZ 기법을 활용하여 VE 프로젝트 프로세스를 한 단계 발전시키는 계기가 될 것이다.

Construction value engineering(VE) is often performed in the form of a short term review of designs, rather than during a regular workshop with a standardized work plan, and its application method is limited. Thus, tasks are performed by applying the method in reverse depending on the VE results, and function analysis, a key VE method, is omitted or only applied for the sake of formality. In addition, it is hard to expect great results from VE because of insufficient time and budget allowed to perform VE and a lack of understanding of VE procedures and methods. In particular, the methods used to store and reuse the tremendous amount of ideas and information created during the process of VE implementation is not systematic. Even the Korea Expressway Corporation, which has produced relatively systematic VE performance compared to other institutions, has had the above-mentioned problems. Therefore, this study aims to improve existing VE processes and suggest a method to efficiently store and retrieve VE information by analyzing the limitations of construction VE practice and the characteristics of VE for highway facilities as part of improving design VE performance.

In the resent years, the importance of VE (value engineering) and LCC (life cycle cost) analysis for apartment building construction projects has been fully recognized. Accordingly theoretical models, guidelines, and supporting software systems were developed for the value engineering and life cycle cost analysis for construction management including large building systems. However, the level of consensus on VE and LCC analysis results is still low due to the lack of reliable data on maintenance. This paper presents time dependent LCC model based value analysis method for rational investment decision making and design alternative selection for construction of apartment building. The proposed method incorporates a time dependent LCC model and a performance evaluation technique by fuzzy logic theory to properly handle the uncertainties associated with statistics data and to analyze the value of alternatives more rationally. The presented time dependent VE and LCC analysis procedure were applied to a real world project, and this case study is discussed in the paper. The model and the procedure presented in this study can greatly contribute to design value engineering alternative selection, the estimation of the life cycle cost, and the allocation of budget for apartment building construction projects.

Design Value Engineering (VE) has become an import part of the daily design process since it has been introduced in the construction industry. Design VE is usually conducted in the general and execution design stages respectively. In order to increase the effectiveness of the VE process, the outcome from the general design VE activities should be integrated into execution design. The outcome from the execution design should be used again for construction. In this study, a consecutive VE process model has been presented as a way to improve the current practice of design VE activities in the construction industry. In the presented model, follow-up activities are emphasized to increase values from the life-cycle perspective of a construction project. The model was tested in a case study of an actual design VE process. The result of the study demonstrates that the model can: 1) effectively incorporate owners requirements; 2) assist decision making in selecting better construction; 3) increase the interface between general and execution design stages; and 4) trace the value flow more efficiently. Overall, the study results indicates that a the consecutive VE process model can be effectively applied when construction project are contracted for the life-cycle management of construction projects.

The ideas created by the execution of Value Engineering(VE) during design phase are usually proposed in a scattered way due to the characteristic of brainstorming. Because of this process, it is likely that similar ideas are proposed duplicatedly, and the created similar overlapping ideas may lead to different analyses and evaluations respectively. The efficient analysis/evaluation of the such similarly created ideas are not easy and the verification of the adequacy and objectivity of the ideas becomes harder and the objective evaluation gets more difficult as well as consumes much time. In spite of the perfect executions of preparatory step for idea creation, the difficulties in managing the similarly created ideas in quantity systematically result in the reduced reliability of the VE activities during design phase. Thus, this study proposes a process model for the efficient idea creation and management of the VE activities during design phase.

The major changes in construction environment are that construction project is bigger and more complicated and the power of construction market changes from the supplier to the client or the user. Especially public construction enterprises have advanced to introduce the value engineering (VE) which is one of the cost management based on the owner's leading at the design phase for economical efficiency and quality improvement. According to the these efforts, the implementation of VE was legislated in the revised Construction Technology Management Act in 2000, governmental agencies, local autonomies, and construction public enterprises universally has taken the VE into consideration. In this circumstance, the scope that VE construction applied at 50 billion won projects from 2003 has been extended to 10 billion won projects in 2006. Therefore, the VE construction will be activated in the future. The cost savings and function improvement, which are the purpose of VE are not only construction public enterprises, but also every public client supported from government's budget or owned by the government. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose the improved process and performance index of VE for governmental agencies, local autonomies, and construction public enterprises which want to introduce or improve the VE process. This research also suggested the To-be design-phased VE process model. In addition, it suggested the To-be model of design management reflected the To-be design-phased VE process model, which is eliminated two problems reflected for the performance improvement of the As-is model of design management.
