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.

Since its introduction in Korea, design VE has widely been used as a means to enhance values in the construction industry. However, a greater emphasis is still placed on cost reduction in approach attitudes and performance evaluations on the implementation of design VE. In this regard, this study presented a performance evaluation method for cost, function, and value of VE proposals. Numerical criteria on the increase and decrease of cost and function that can classify the value enhancement type of VE proposals were proposed based on the performance evaluation method. It is expected that the use of numerical criteria for the type classification of VE proposal, and cost and performance evaluation method proposed in this study will make it possible to conduct a clear and more intuitive evaluation of VE proposal. However, it is appropriate to use the numerical criteria as a guideline to apply the new performance evaluation method for VE proposals. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a statistical analysis with a wider range of users after the repeated application of the findings of this study, and thus to carry out research for presenting the numerical criteria for various types of users.

Railway fields are complicatedly connected with engineering such as physics, civil engineering, architecture engineering, electrical engineering (Telecommunication, signal, catenary, system), machine engineering and performance phase of project in domestic railway can be divided with four steps : planning, design, supervision, construction. Value Engineering is needed to reduce the cost of long period construction duration and periodically maintenance. Currently, railway design is difficult to act optimum design due to limited time, short of manpower, downsized of design company. therefore, VE concept in Design must require In order to solve this problem. it is called Design Management. This paper presents both item of design management and total design management tool of practical aspects, and describes LCC (Life Cycle Cost) analyze process and accomplishment process for applying VE concept

This study attempts to understanding of outer space elements in a rural house through an analysis nouns for function definition phase in design value engineering. To choose main check objects, this study examines requests by rural dwellers and analyze function definition in design value engineering. The rural dwellers prefers that barrier free design, outdoor working space and security of calamity. Each selected elements are classified the nouns into a main noun by analysis function definition nouns at design VE phase. The nouns are reclassified into the main nouns as a distance, a space, and a form.

교육시설에 BTL사업이 활성화됨에 따라 해당 사업의 규모가 급격히 확대되고 있다. 이에 교육시설 설계에 있어서 창의적이고 효율적인 대안설계를 제안해야함에 따라 설계VE 영역의 중요성이 부각되어 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 현재의 설계VE 진행절차는 준비단계, 분석단계, 실행단계로 이어지며 각 단계별로 다양한 운용기법과 분석방법으로 진행되고 있다. 특히 그동안 진행되었던 다수의 교육시설 설계VE 사례를 살펴본 바에 의하면, 설계VE 과정에서 VE대상 선정 시 동일하거나 유사한 방법이 나타나고, 최종 대안 역시 프로젝트 별로 유사한 패턴을 보이고 있음에도, 기존 설계VE의 전 과정이 반복적으로 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이처럼 동일하거나 유사하게 나타나는 대안들을 유형화 하여 설계VE 절차를 간소화함으로써 VE활동 기간을 단축시켜 효율성을 높이고자 한다. 이를 위해 기존 교육시설 설계VE 사례들을 통해 다양한 VE대안들을 분석하여 유형별로 정리한다. 그 결과로 유사한 패턴이 나타나는 최종 대안들을 교육시설의 공간과 각 공간에 따른 공종별로 구분하여 유형화하고자 한다. 이는 교육시설 설계VE 활동 시 유형화 된 대안을 활용하여 기능분석 등의 단계를 생략함으로써 설계VE 활동 기간 단축과 투입 노력을 축소시키는 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이며, 설계VE에 있어서 보다 효율적인 운용이 가능하게 될 것이다.

Value Engineering (VE) is an organized process with an impressive history of improving value and quality. VE can be applied to the construction projects with having good study results. The VE study in construction projects gives identification of opportunities to remove unnecessary costs while assuring quality, performance, reliability, and other factors will meet or exceed the clients needs. VE techniques can save money, reduce time, and improve quality, reliability, maintainability, and performance. VE can also make improving of human factors (altitudes, creativity), and team work. According to the results of VE study in recent USA, 5∼35% reduction in initial costs have been made for the construction projects (ROI ranges : 100∼1000). To have successful work results, if possible, VE study shall be considered at project planning stage or basic design stage later than field work stage with application of VE JOB PLAN, multi-disciplinary approach, and proper techniques in respective study phases (pre-workshop / information gathering / function analysis / creativity / judgement and evaluation / development / presentation and implementation) among the detail techniques in many.

VE is one of the most effective and systematic tool available to achieve the required function at minimum cost and manage in many industrial fields. The purpose of the preparation phase VE job plan is to establish a cooperation system referring to groups for the successful implementation of VE, and to achieve a common objective to collect sufficient materials required in the analysis phase. The Quality Model is used to measure the requirement of shareholders(users and owners)in the project. It also offers a guideline on decision making when executing the function definition, function arrangement, function evaluation, and the idea evaluation of VE. However, the current the preparation phase business confirms that the required items of owners and users has not suggested definite goals and directions. This study analyzes the problems of current work in the preparation phase from case study, survey and interviews of experts. It then proposes a new process after understanding the required items of owners, users and experts.

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.

The value engineering(VE) in construction projects is systematic method which improve quality as well as reduction input cost and as construction VE work extends the range of application, the importance is rising. For this reason studies are needed to enforce design value engineering work systemically and effectively. In this study, we analyzed the problem of the present construction VE processing and deduced the model to be most suitable the work efficiency. As suggested model reflects systemically requirement item of owner and user, it will make approaching direction and standard establishment possible. So it will increase the following function analysis in analyzing step and the effectiveness of creating idea and make successful VE result.
