| 摘要： | Transportation Secretary Rodney E. Slater reported in early 1999 that state and local transportation departments saved taxpayers a record $750 million in fiscal 1998 by implementing value engineering (VE) in highway projects. As promoted by the Federal Highway Administration and implemented by state and local governments, VE has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to reduce project costs, improve quality and productivity, foster innovation, and eliminate unnecessary and costly design elements. By carefully examining each component of an undertaking, VE helps to find new and better ways of doing things. While there is no single VE formula, the process used by the Washington State Department of Transportation provides a picture of how VE is used in highway planning and construction. The process has eight steps: select the right projects, team, timing, processes, or elements; investigate background information, technical reports, and field data; brainstorm alternative proposals; analyze alternatives, life-cycle costs, and documentation of logic; develop supporting data, team recommendations, and long-term and interim solutions; present VE findings and recommendations; prepare an implementation plan; and track the results and accomplishments of the VE program. |
