How Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE) identifies savings

This is where Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE) becomes particularly valuable. Rather than focusing on every component equally, VAVE provides a structured approach to identifying the areas that will have the greatest impact. In many products, a relatively small proportion of components accounts for the majority of the overall product cost. By understanding the function of these high-value parts and challenging whether there are better ways to achieve the same outcome, opportunities can often be found to simplify designs, reduce material usage, optimise manufacturing or consolidate components without affecting product performance. The earlier this process begins, the more opportunities there are to implement meaningful improvements.
