Value engineering is a systematic process of function analysis to identify actions that reduce cost, increase quality, and improve mission capabilities across the entire spectrum of DoD systems, processes, and organizations. The Department of Defense Value Engineering Program continues to be an incentive for government and our industry partners to improve the joint value proposition by promoting innovation and creativity. Innovative value engineering proposals seek best value solutions as part of a successful business relationship. During fiscal 2010, DoD executed in-house value engineering Proposals and accepted contractor-initiated value engineering change proposals with a combined actual and projected savings/cost avoidance in excess of $2.4 billion.
The Value Engineering Awards Program is an acknowledgment of exemplary achievements and encourages additional projects to improve in-house and contractor productivity. Award winners from each DoD component are eligible for selection in the following five categories: program/project, individual, team, organization, and contractor. Additional “special” awards are given to recognize innovative applications or approaches that expand the traditional scope of value engineering use.
A ceremony will be held on June 22, 2011 to recognize the recipients’ outstanding achievements through the application of value engineering. The ceremony is open to the media.
More information about the program and the award winners can be found at: http://rtoc.ida.org/ve/ve.html.
