Abstract:Value Engineering (VE) is a procedure used to reduce the total cost of performing a required function, without sacrificing quality or safety. The concept of VE, which is over 40 years old, was primarily used in manufacturing industries and began to be applied to building construction over the last 20 years. It is now found that VE has a vast potential for reducing both capital and operational costs of transit maintenance facilities. This digest presents a synopsis of the structure and application of VE and a documentation of the two demonstration projects sponsored by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration as applied to the design of transit bus storage and maintenance facilities.
