An Improved Effective Cost Review Process for Value Engineering

An Improved Effective Cost Review Process for Value Engineering

Second-look value engineering (VE) is an approach that aims to lower the costs of products for which target costs are not being met during the production stage. Participants in second-look VE typically come up with a variety of ideas for cost cutting, but the outcomes often depend on their levels of experience, and not many good alternatives are available during the production stage. Nonetheles...

Is Taurolidine-citrate an effective and cost-effective hemodialysis cathe-ter lock solution? A systematic review and cost- effectiveness analysis

Background: Prevention of catheter-related infection is of prime importance,. However, because of the risks caused by the leakage of circulating antibiotics and development of resistance to antibiotics, they are replaced by lock solutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and cost- effectiveness of taurolidine-citrate as a hemodialysis catheter lock solution compared to other ...

Process optimisation - An effective tool for Cost Reduction

In current scenario of limited demand, lower cost realisation and increasing competition in cement industry, lowering the product cost has become the need of the hour for survival. An effective measure to reduce the production cost is by optimisation of operational practices. Process optimisation is an effective tool for improving the effectiveness of the system and hence, cost reduction in cem...

System Engineering Implementation Process for Super-Systems

System engineering is one of the most powerful tools for comprehensive project management and control. This tool emphasized the life cycle of the projects, manages every single activity and helps manage the main elements of the project through a set of management and engineering processes. The goal of the current study is to use a system engineering approach in design phase in order or to meet ...
