Best value at lowest cost.

VE Objective

Application of VE2-Value Engineering for the Crosstown Project

11/15/2011

19

In achieving best value at lowest cost, must:• Provide safe operation

• Adhere to design requirements

• Provide low life-cycle cost

• Provide high performance- reliability- availability- maintainability

• Be functional and aesthetically pleasing for customers.

VE Objective

11/15/2011 Application of VE2-Value Engineering for the Crosstown Project

20

Value Engineering

– Traditionally perceived as a means to reduce costs. – Can also be applied to improve performance.– Measures to determine performance are specific to

each VE

What is Value?

• Perform at or before 30% design• 10% - evaluate options• 30% - evaluate selected options

• Constructibility

• To be used for:• Stations• Tunnels• Maintenance Facilities


28

Formal VE Process – 5 Day Workshop

• Day 1 - Presentation by project team and site visit

• Days 2-4 - VE Consultant reviews project documentation and generates analysis of options. VE Consultant may contact project team for additional information.

• Day 5 - VE Consultant delivers presentation of VE recommendations.


29

Formal VE Process Initial Evaluation

• VE Consultant provides draft report

• Project team reviews.


30

Formal VE ProcessFinal Evaluation

• Project team develops position on each recommendation

• Project team modifies designs accordingly

• VE Register is updated with selected options.


31

VE Register

• Active list of selected VE recommendations

• Important tool to convey message to other teams

• VE updates issued regularly


32

3 Types of VE - Continued

Construction VE:

• Contracts encourage contractors to submit alternatives

• Internal evaluation
