1. Avoid generalities - Value Analysis



_______________

_______________


Many times general statements are used to stop value alternatives from proceeding further. Examples given by Miles include:


* It's not practical to build dies for drop forging when quantities are less than 25,000 per order.
* It's not practical to build molds for casting in quantities of less than 5,000.
But a value engineer needs to make inquiries. Parts vary in complexity and material may make a difference.  There will be advancements in die-making and as well as in die-making machines. Instead stopping with general statements, value engineer needs to make specific inquiries.
