产生第二次世界大战结束以后,各国纷纷从战火的硝烟中将战略目标转入了本国的经济建设。由于战争的消耗造成了战后经济恢复时期资源空前的短缺,人们在思考:怎样才能满足生产的需要?美国设计师麦尔斯首先找到一种以代用材料来解决资源短缺的途径。在此基础上,经过进一步研究和反复实践,总结出一套在保证产品功能的前提下降低费用的比较完整的理论方法。1947年麦尔斯在《美国机械师》杂志上发表了以《价值分析》为题的论文,一个崭新的同时又是初步的科学理论方法诞生了!麦尔斯的论文震响了世界。此后,价值工程(价值分析)出现在欧洲、 After the end of the Second World War, all countries have shifted their strategic goal from the flames of war to their own economic construction. As the consumption of war caused an unprecedented shortage of resources during the post-war economic recovery period, people were pondering: How can we meet the needs of production? Myers, the American designer, first found a way to solve the shortage of resources by using alternative materials. On this basis, through further research and repeated practice, a set of theoretical methods to reduce costs under the precondition of ensuring the product’s functions is summarized. In 1947, Myers published an article entitled “Value Analysis” in the magazine American Machinist, and a brand new and preliminary method of scientific theory was born. Myers’ essay shook the world. Since then, value engineering (value analysis) has appeared in Europe,
