Value Engineering(VE) is an organized effort to create the most value through a functional analysis and creation of alternatives. Depending on the VE job plan, a VE Workshop must be performed in a certain place within a certain period of time. A VE Workshop, which is an organized activity that aims to create the best value through functional analysis and creation of alternatives, should be held in a certain place and at a scheduled time according to the VE job plan. In the Pre-Study, VE Study and Post-Study phases of VE, functional assessments, performance evaluations and idea evaluations are driven by variable management techniques and analysis methods, respectively. Generally, VE is executed for about 3 to 5 days in a particular place to create value. However, there are many problems associated with limiting all VE processes to a specific place and schedule. Moreover, in Korea, VE teams are required to finish all VE processes in a limited time because of the short duration of VE workshops, the necessity of which has been overlooked. Therefore, an efficient VE support system is required to resolve the problem of time and space limitations. In this study, a VE support system based on the Mobile environment was developed to support the VE Workshop process. This VE support system enables participants to review design documents, drawing sheets and all VE-related documents using mobile devices. After the Workshop, participants can conveniently rearrange the result(evaluation of function and ideas) at the workshop. Not only can the members of VE team can review the design documents, drawing sheet and all VE-related documents in the step before the workshop, but also the result(evaluation of function and ideas) of the workshop can be easily rearranged in the phase after the workshop under the developed supporting system using mobile devices.

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.

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.

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.

Value engineering (VE) of the construction project is classified into design phase value engineering and construction phase value engineering. Design phase value engineering must apply to over 10 billion public construction projects by government law. Therefore, the design value engineering apply to actively in construction projects. In contrast, the construction value engineering apply to a limited certain construction project. The reason is that construction value engineering process can not reflect practical demands quality. The construction value engineering can implement to positive impact through the feasibility verification for constructability. In this research, we propose a method of construction value engineering that reflect the practical demands. This method is experts alternative evaluation of using by GFI-based. And, this study was applied to the practical cases to verify the applicability of the proposed method. As a result, proposed alternative evaluation method were analyzed highly efficient in terms of applying the process as well as the method compare to the conventional method.

VE is one of the technologies that are essential to promote cost reduction and performance improvement in construction projects. In the VE process, there are very important steps in deciding whether to adopt VE ideas and alternatives or not. However, when examining the possibility of selecting and adopting alternatives, it is difficult to clarify the differences and characteristics of the existing and improved proposals due to lack of understanding of the owner and inadequate consideration of harmonization with the alternative surroundings. In order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to effectively exchange information related to alternatives among VE participants and to examine the applicability of VE alternatives more in-depth. Therefore, in this study, a process for reviewing the applicability of VE Alternatives using BIM based VR was proposed to review more appropriate VE alternatives.

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.

Design phase VE that is mandatory conducted in public construction project more than 10 billion won in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations has been activated in domestic application case of Value Engineering. But construction VE has been applied in specific project. Therefore, this study aims to deduce problems of poor performed construction VE through review of precedent researches and depth interviews of expert group. As one of the improvements this study suggest that a building plan which is VE process leading VET/CM.
