Value Engineering

This concept, created by General Electric during World War II, is widely used in the industry to reduce cost and increase production efficiency when standard cost down process has been pushed to the limit.

During years, buyers considered the main solution to reduce structural product cost was to increase the pressure on the suppliers, like reducing the number of them to increase the volumes they have to deal with. Value Engineering is taking the opposite direction by optimizing the product requirments for its basic purpose.

In such situation, it can generate value for both you and your suppliers, bringing mutual benefit and long term cooperation. Typical examples would be to use more standard components or to simplify the manufacturing process that will not only reduce the cost but likely increase the product quality too with simpler processes.

SAOS proposal is to combine our China industry knowledge and engineering capability to study your product and bring a set of solutions to fulfill your expectations:
• Analyze current supply chain flow and identify opportunities in terms of

• Parts/components manufactured in Asia
• Sub-assemblies
• Supporting services – lab and quality, design, etc…
• Get quotations or estimates by using Asian manufacturing cost structure
• Provide a detailed plan with qualified saving opportunity

• Provide proposal suggesting alternate manufacturing options with global value chain on the product.

Value Engineering brings most of its value during R&D phase and redesign opportunities. Contact us to evaluate your benefit using that process with SAOS.
