ARABIC PDF DESCRIPTION

This product (Value Engineering from Beginning to Practice [Arabic]) is a 37-page PDF document, which you can download immediately upon purchase.

This presentation, "Understanding Value Engineering: From Fundamentals to Practice," provides a complete and practical introduction to Value Engineering (VE). It is designed for professionals who want to understand how VE can improve performance, reduce cost, and increase value across products, services, and processes.

The material begins with the basics—what Value Engineering is, why it matters, and how it differs from cost-cutting. It then explains the VE Job Plan step-by-step, including the Information, Function Analysis, Creative, Evaluation, Development, and Presentation phases.

A major part of this presentation focuses on Function Analysis, the core of VE. It demonstrates how to define functions properly using the Verb–Noun method, how to differentiate basic and secondary functions, and how to assign cost to functions. The presentation includes multiple examples and ready-to-use FAST diagrams, such as analyses of a printer and a microwave, to show how functional thinking leads to innovative solutions.

Finally, the deck includes real practice examples from everyday processes and products, showing how VE techniques can be applied in real projects to deliver measurable value improvements.

This presentation is ideal for:

Engineers

Project and operations managers

Quality professionals

Product development teams

Anyone interested in structured value improvement

It is fully editable and designed for training sessions, workshops, and professional development programs.
