Mechanical Product Design Based on Value Engineering

Abstract

Determined by the nature of the mechanical product, there is plenty of room for the application of value engineering in the design process. However, the application of value engineering is too theoretical, and practical guiding significance has great limitations. In this paper, through introducing the Motivation-Hygiene Theory to function evaluation link of value engineering, we classify the functions into hygiene and incentive, evaluate and get the linear sum of the total function evaluation. Then judge the value. Finally, the example of an enterprise is described to fully verify its validity.
