Value Management
Value Management is a method of management particularly dedicated to motivating people, developing skills, and promoting synergies and improvement with the aim of maximizing the overall performance of an organization. Value Management is a structured and analytical process in which a defined Work Plan is followed to improve value and, where appropriate, value for money in products, processes, services, organisations and systems. The process may be applied to management decision making at any level of an organisation and is equally appropriate for public and private sector applications. Management in construction industry plays a very important role in terms of its quest for continuous improvement and innovation Value Management in construction industry can be applied to the strategic planning of the business and improvement in performance on top of delivering Best Value. Best value management in construction projects is to keep and maintain a tight workforce with higher management supervision and clear direction. To be more specific, you have to make sure that project teams. Value Management throughout the project cycle - normally, a project has a planned series of workshops incorporated with the project program beginning at project description- strategic level, and continuing through to construction technical level. Cost Cutting Versus Value Improvement, value analysis and value engineering were associated with cost cutting. But value methods on projects improving the understanding of the clients requirements and business needs. Value Management can be applied in ongoing project and general management within any organisation to improve value or value for money. Value Management is a powerful process that may be used to develop agreement, understanding and commitment when applied to the resolution or optimisation of particular issues.

Value and Risk Management

1 Risk and value management are interrelated tasks that should be carried

out in parallel. 2 3 Risk and value management are fundamental to the successful delivery of projects and should be used throughout the life of the project. Value management exercises are carried out first, to determine exactly what constitutes value to the business from delivery of the project. A preferred option (or options) is identified, together with the risks that are likely to occur if that option was implemented. The integrated project team repeats the parallel exercises of defining value and associated risks until they arrive at the optimum balance of value and risk. Risk and value management are continuous processes throughout the procurement lifecycle. Value management to develop output-based specification, to refine and evaluate options that satisfy project brief and objectives Risk management to identify risks for each procurement option, cost of managing them. Value management to apply selection and award criteria Risk management update risk register and revise base estimate and risk allowance Value engineering study to optimize whole-life design quality and cost. Integrated project team to assess build ability of options Risk management identify residual risks and continue to manage risks and risk allowance. Agree and implement collective risk management approach

Process of Value & Risk Management

Project inception: review identifies the needs of the stakeholders and informs the decision on whether or not a project is required. Value management is the tool for strategic options appraisal and making a choice: do something/do nothing/maintain status quo. Options appraisal: review identifies key priorities and constraints; it also identifies and examines possible solutions. It makes explicit the clients values and priorities, the project needs and objectives, and key project constraints and risks. Procurement strategy: evaluate options and define the procurement strategy.This review should help ensure that the option finally selected will meet the objectives set for it. It is concerned with the means of achieving project objectives (procurement strategy and contract strategy) as well as the objectives themselves. Output specification : review considers the output specification against the background of project needs, priorities and the objectives hierarchy developed at earlier reviews. Outline design: to ensure that the required functionality and quality are confirmed before proceeding to detailed design. Detailed design (before approval for construction to begin): value engineering reviews of the design. These focus on the integrated project teams expertise in improving buildability so that works are implemented faster, more efficiently and safely and at lower whole-life cost.

g Construction: to resolve any issues on site as required. h In-use: to inform the ongoing management and operation of the facility. 1 Orientation/identification: involves the identification of the business 0 problem, the customer needs and priorities.

1 Information: involves the collection of information/data regarding 1 values, costs, risks, programmed and other project constraints Speculation generation: involves the generation of ideas to meet the needs and priorities previously identified. This is usually best undertaken via a workshop with all the stakeholders and project team members. The 1 principle is that ideas are generated in a criticism-free atmosphere, 2 which promotes freethinking and creative ideas. 1 Idea evaluation: this step identifies the most promising options from 3 the last stage. 1 Idea development: the most promising options are developed and 4 appraised. This may be undertaken by sub-groups of the workshop Recommendation/decision/implementation: the results from the last stage are presented to the workshop group and a decision is made on 1 which proposal to pursue. An action plan is prepared to take the proposal 5 forward. 1 Feedback: the success of the options implemented is assessed to 6 provide lessons learned and inform future projects.
