In this hyper-connected world, the key to success/excellence is Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE). But the VA/VE discipline has been stagnant even though new books continue to be published by that title. This book revitalizes and reinvents VA/VE, and this re-engineered value engineering can positively disrupt the fragmented status quo of the value improvement/change management tools such as Six Sigma, Lean Thinking, Total Quality Management, Kaizen, and Project Management. This book connect the dots among these management tools by integrating them into VA/VE’s scientific method of the value methodology, based on the multi-disciplinary and whole-system thinking approach of VA/VE.
