Question

Which of the following is a common form of value engineering in which the design team prepares several possible designs of the product, each having similar features with different levels of performance and different costs? a. Cost analysis. b. Variable design engineering. c. Cost-based value engineering. d. Functional analysis. e. Design analysis.

Answer 1

Answer: e. Design analysis.

Explanation: Value engineering is defined as a systematic, organized manner of providing necessary functions in a project at the lowest cost possible thus promoting the substitution of materials and methods with cheaper alternatives, without the loss of functionality. Design analysis is a form of value engineering wherein several possible designs of a product or method is prepared, with each product/method having similar features with varying levels of performance and costs. It can be applied to any type of design both tangible and intangible and as a process, it includes all information discovery, planning and communications. It is focused solely on the functions of various components and materials, rather than their physical attributes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option E is correct.

Design Analysis

Explanation:

the common form of value engineering in which the design team prepares several possible design of the product and having similar features with different level of performance and different cost is  Design analysis.

Design Analysis is the methodical procedure of building up a structure including all data disclosure, arranging and correspondences. This can be applied to a structure including the plan of physical things, for example, structures and impalpable things, for example, programming, data and procedures.
