价值工程是目前企业普遍采用的一种技术与经济相结合的新的管理方法。所谓价值工程,就是通过对产品功能的分析,采取节约代用、改进工艺等措施,减少多余功能,在保证质量的前提下,降低原材料消耗,从而降低产品成本。陕西洗衣机厂从1983年开始采用价值工程方法,收到较好的经济效果。陕西洗衣机厂日用电器研究所的工程技术人员,应用价值工程原理对洗衣机的电气系统进行改进,不仅提高了电器系统的工作质量,而且全年降低成本费用17.5万元。为了不断降低产品成本,各车间千方百计降低材料消耗和费用支出。锻铆车间与技术部门、物资供应 Value engineering is a new management method that is commonly used by enterprises in combination with technology and economy. The so-called value engineering means that through the analysis of product functions, measures such as saving and replacing materials and improving processes are used to reduce redundant functions. Under the premise of ensuring quality, the consumption of raw materials is reduced, thereby reducing product costs. Shaanxi Washing Machine Factory began using value engineering methods in 1983 and received good economic results. The engineering and technical personnel of the Household Appliances Research Institute of Shaanxi Washing Machine Factory applied the value engineering principle to improve the electrical system of the washing machine, which not only improved the work quality of the electrical system, but also reduced the cost and expense of 175,000 yuan throughout the year. In order to continuously reduce product costs, the workshops do everything possible to reduce material consumption and expenses. Forging riveting workshop and technical department, material supply
