Value Engineering- Step 1
Manufacturing successfully in the USA today requires innovative designers and fabricators that are willing to challenge standard processes and reduce cost while improving quality. A manufacturing companies ability to create new methods of manufacturing and a keen focus on continuous improvement will keep manufacturing in the USA alive today. It is not enought have capability; we must include innovation!!
So, with this said, where do we start? At the design….. Value engineering is the buzzword we use to describe the alteration of an original design to make the product easier to manufacture. A company that recognizes a shortcoming in a design and has the ability to make it better will put itself in front of other companies that cannot.
Value Engineering can affect part cost, quality yields, and product improvement.
