MAN Truck and Bus AG is a leading international provider of commercial vehicles as well as well-known producers of diesel and natural-gas engines. This report focuses on the products manufactured in MAN Nuremberg assembly plant, which produces a wide variety of engines designed and developed for different applications for customer needs. As any other company in the industry, MAN has high expenses while producing their engines. In response for this need, the PKO+ project was born. This project follows the VE ideology of improving the value of the goods or products by reducing the cost of the raw material, seeking of low cost suppliers, optimizing the product with or without customer perception, supply chain optimization, etc. VE techniques have been applied to coordinate properly the communication between the different departments involved in this project. The basics of this project and the starting process can be found in this report. These foundations consist of generating a support team, establishing long term targets, and processes to achieve such targets. At the end, the results from period January 1st 2019 to August 1st 2019 are shown in this report.

Experience has demonstrated the effectiveness of Value Engineering in reducing cost without compromising the quality and reliability of defense hardware. This Handbook was developed to aid Government activities and contractors in expanding and accelerating their Value Engineering programs to achieve meaningful cost reductions.

A By definition "VALUE ENGINEERING probes into the functional require ment to determine if an alternate configuration can accomplish the required function at less cost."While the term is relatively new, it simply describes what has been covered under terms such as "engineering economics" foT many yeaTS The function to which it applies has been one of the most important of those performed by the Bureau of Public Roads since its organization.Value engineering or cost effectiveness as applied to the Federal-aid highway program relates to efforts directed toward determining whether alternate highway engineering plans and designs can provide equal or better service at less cost.The probing into functional requirements to determine if an alternate configuration can accomplish the required function at less cost is perhaps the most fundamental area of responsibility exercised by the Bureau's staff.This also includes the obverse of the proposition, wherein we try to determine how added values can be bought for no increase in cost* and whether an increase in price will buy a finished road sufficiently increased in service qualities as to justify the added expenditure of public funds.These kinds of value engineering judgments are fundamental routine in all aspects of eveTy project proposal submitted by State highway departments to the Bureau for approval, beginning with the earliest stages of system selection and route locations.

A study to identify the necessary elements for a joint DoD/industry value engineering undertaking was prepared for ASD (I and L), encompassing methodology, criteria, evaluation, change procedures, level of effort, organization, selection and incentives. Evaluation by OSD of this report was made. It encompasses necessary measures to (1) reinforce DoD's already stated endorsement of the V.E. program, (2) update ASPR periodically to provide substantial financial incentives to defense contractors for successful performance of V.E., (3) develop improved training programs, (4) give wide distribution to the V.E. Handbook H-111 throughout the defense/industry complex and (5) issue a V.E. specification to establish minimum standards for performance of V.E. under program requirements clauses in defense contracts.
