The management technology of Value Engineering (VE) originated from the United States fifty years ago, and kept developing to the present. The purpose of VE is to apply a systematic management to cut unnecessary cost under the principle of planning function, and then seek for suitable alternative plans. In recent years, due to change of domestic economic environment that resulted in shrinkage and cutting-down of the resources of transportation, the Ministry of Transportation thus has to broaden income sources and reduce expenditures, which is a significant issue.
In view of the “Government Procurement Act” issued by the Government, it may bring a tremendous change in Value Engineering. In addition, whether the application of Value Engineering done by the Ministry of Transportation will succeed or not is closely related to the future application and development of such technology. Furthermore, in view of newly-planned ten top developing projects, among which up to 249,900 million NT dollars in the transportation developments budget, accounting for 50% of total budget. The purpose of this research is to help make a good use of the construction budget and effectively move forward management technology.
This research first starts with flashing back of the documents relating to the application and development of Value Engineering to make some understanding, next goes on exploring changes and influences of Value Engineering applied in the country, and then proceeds to the case study on the project of Taipei City government’s Rapid Transit Bureau and the affiliated departments of the Ministry of Transportation & Communications. At the same time, it collects expert’’s and scholar’s suggestions for the handling methods of the above two organizations, respectively exploring the four aspects of laws, technology, execution and talent cultivation.
It further sums up 19 items of core problems, which may encounter on the process of carrying out Value Engineering, and 25 items of concrete proposals. In the end, this research brings up conclusion and suggestions, which may be used by the transportation department as reference to follow up value engineering plans. | en_US |
