Our method

Our method

Value Analysis is a standardised method and part of Management par la Valeur,in accordance with the EN 12973 standard. Our method is based on the stages of the standard:

  • A preparatory phase involving the contracting party and the project manager, defining the goals and scope of the Value Analysis/li>
  • A working group phase – involving customers (or their in-house representatives), contracting party and project manager representatives and in-house specialists – using creativity to challenge all aspects of the industrial project: goals, scope, constraints, functions, solutions, organisation, schedule, cost breakdown etc.
  • Producing a list of potential variants
  • Support in the study of the variants based on objective criteria
  • Constructing an optimum scenario

Our approach

Because the objectives – the customers’ needs – determine the scale of the project, Value Analysis must begin by optimising the needs, a potential source of considerable cost reductions, before optimising the project’s functions and technical solutions, where the margins for potential savings are narrower.
This is why our consultancy approach is based on:

  • Understanding the specific features of your business sector and the context of your project
  • Bringing together everyone involved in the project, from customer representatives to operational staff, to question them and get them working together
  • Challenging all the aspects of the project with the working group, with no preconceived ideas about the “right” and “wrong” solutions
  • Adapting the Value Analysis method to enable a dynamic, participatory intervention and optimise the results achieved
  • Reaching a consensus on the optimum scenario among everyone involved in the project
