description abstractEXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BENEFITS OF A VALUE ENGINEERING PROGRAM
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) recognizes the need for the prudent use of resources and revenues while providing a quality transportation program. Value engineering (VE) is a function-oriented technique that has proven to be an effective management tool for achieving improved design, construction, and cost-effectiveness in various transportation program elements. Data collected by the Federal Highway Administration indicates that the return on investment can exceed 100:1.
States that have active VE programs have realized additional benefits beyond design improvements and cost savings including:
• An opportunity for stakeholders to participate in the process
• Improvement of standards and policies
• Responsiveness to stakeholder priorities and improved communication amongst stakeholders participating in studies
• Accelerated incorporation of new materials and construction techniques
• Employee satisfaction from participation in agency decisions
• Increased skills obtained from team participation
• Improved constructability
• Reduced environmental impacts
• Reduced schedule
• Reduced risk
• Improved operations
This document provides guidelines for establishing and administering VE programs. It is the intent of these guidelines to assist state DOTs in developing a successful VE program, to promote the acceptance and use of VE, and assure compliance with Federal VE requirements, while allowing maximum flexibility to each state.
