Value Planning: Survival of the Fittest Projects – A Piece of Cake for Value Engineers
Mr. Hein B. A. de Jong conducted a talk on the value planning using flow chart and simple diagrams. The application of value engineering can determine the value of a project in comparison with other projects, and observe the most expensive projects. The presentation from Mr. Hein showed his ideas and also inspirited participants to think and discuss on the proper engineering decisions. The ‘no cure no pay’ parameters are able to find the projects those are likely to have over-budget. The value engineering can support the industry to plan a suitable project with a better management approach.
