The Importance of Value Engineering in Expanding Engineering Industries and Achieving Sustainable Development

Abstract

The study concentrated on the connection between theoretical approaches in their various dimensions and the performance of engineering industries institutions in an attempt to find a close link between the knowledge and application of human resources to the principles of value engineering with the performance of engineering projects that lead to the achievement of the institution's objectives. During this investigation, two major concerns will be discussed, one about survival, growth, and competitiveness about the situations surrounding the engineering industry establishments, and whether it will necessitate the implementation of value engineering principles. The second concern is about human resources in engineering projects of all sizes have the complete or required knowledge of the concept/principles of Value engineering. To answer these two issues, the notion of value engineering, its different aspects, and its contribution to accomplishing the organization's goals were examined whether it will reduce costs, improve quality, reduce waste and delivery time, increase output, sales, and profits, and strive to build factory workers' talents, skills, and culture on modern manufacturing/management systems.
