• The first module teaches the basics of the methodology of Value Engineering / Value Management and gives an insight into the systematic approach of increasing value for customers.
• In the second module the basic knowledge of Value Engineering / Value Management is increased and deepened. The participants get to know complementary approaches to optimisation. One focus is on target costing using VE / VM – another is on setting up VE projects. Furthermore value engineering with suppliers is addressed. Complex value management projects can be defined and planned by the participants.
• In the third module, the procedure for the anchoring of Value Engineering / Value Management in the organisation is taught. Participants will understand the value of VE / VM to achieve continuous optimisation. A special focus is on agility with status quo of agile value Engineering.
  VE is applied on services using additional methods of service design.
