Professional and Professional Practice & DevelopmentRecenzii
"Park's book gives you useful tools to approach complex problems in systems or components, but more importantly he encourages you to approach those problems from a new point of view.
His techniques take you step by step away from the old ways of problem solving which gave us old types of solutions. His way of approaching things forces you to look at the same issues from a new perspective, something required for breakthrough discoveries." -Jeffery B Higgs, Executive Vice President - Corporate Planning, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group
"By far the most comprehensive book and the best primer on Value Engineering available. The Catalog of Functions included in the Appendix alone is worth the price of the book to the Value Engineering veteran as well as someone new to the process."-E. R. Heussner, President
Comp-U-Tense , Inc.
"This is a marvelous, well-written understandable book. It is just what Value Engineering (VE) has needed.
It brings VE into the modern world and shows VE to be essential to today's business and social environment."-John H. F. Hoving, Sr. Vice President, Ret. Federated Department Stores, SAVE International Counsel
"The VE process provides the disciplined technique required to challenge basic assumptions that limit insights necessary for innovative breakthroughs.
Mr. Park has defined the concepts and provided examples, which facilitate technical problem solving and stimulate critical analysis required in evaluations and decisions we make daily."-Richard Darios, Training and Development Specialist

Descriere
After more than 50 years as a manager and Value Engineering (VE) pioneer, Richard J. Park outlines Value Engineering: A Plan for Invention. Drawn from his extensive experience in major automotive, aircraft, and general manufacturing fields - then as an independent consultant and trainer - Park shows VE's applicability to not only the corporate environment, but other aspects of community and personal life as well. He covers: expanding VE to a full management discipline for planning and controlling operations, the broad range of knowledge required for successful application, and VE as an essential adjunct to Quality Engineering and TOC techniques.
