THE CHALLENGE

AI based Value Engineering (VE)
without structure creates chaos.

Scattered
spreadsheets

Ideas, functions, and cost data live across disconnected files and workshop notes

Unstructured workshops

Teams lack a consistent value management workflow to guide analysis and decision making.

Hard to track
decisions

Important ideas get lost after workshops, making follow-through and accountability difficult.

Savings not
realized

Without prioritization and tracking, improvement ideas rarely turn into measurable outcomes.

HOW IT WORKS

VMCoach:
From Chaos to Clarity.

Your CE/VE process, mastered. One platform to unify data, align multidisciplinary teams, and track solution scenarios from concept to realization.

Define scope

Capture the project, product, or process and align the team on the challenge to solve.

Rework customer requirements

Get the system architecture right according to the voice of customer and build a usable requirement structure.

Analyse cost

ABC analyses, target costs, and reference calculations provide the costing input for the value engineering process.

Generate and evaluate ideas

Run collaborative workshops, compare alternatives, and focus on the highest-value opportunities.

Track outcomes

Monitor implementation, supplier alignment, savings, and decisions in one structured workflow.

BENEFITS

Everything teams need to run
interdisciplinary CE/VE projects

Standardize VM methodology

Create one shared process across workshops, teams, and projects.

Powered by Artificial Intelligence


Performe better & faster function analysis and generate more cost savings

Centralize
project data

Keep functions, ideas, costs, and decisions in one place.

Increase savings realization

Focus effort on the highest-value opportunities and monitor outcomes.

Improve
transparency

A central platform as a basis for purchaser and Cost Engineers.

VMCoach integrates target costs and outlines the cost potential gaps while transforming cost engineering knowledge into structured execution material.

VMCoach integrates target costs and outlines the cost potential gaps.

Background knowledge from cost engineering is captured and processed to create comprehensive spreadsheets.

Optimisation technologies and approaches are documented and potential savings are calculated to stress out the purchasing task points.

Purchasing gets an easy-to-handle presentation to use in cost meetings with suppliers.

All saving potentials are tracked and aligned with final supplier offers.

WHO USES VMCOACH

Every time is right time for
Cost/Value Engineering.

VMCoach supports both early product development and existing product cost-down programs with flexible approaches built around functions, requirements, BOMs, and supplier execution.

EARLY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Apply value engineering in the early phases of product development.

For new product development and innovations there is often no BOM available. A systems engineering and functional requirements approach is necessary.

Create your system architecture and get your functions in place. Then define function target costs.

Moving forward in the PDP, the function cost blocks are more and more transferred to solutions and module costs.

EARLY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Apply value engineering for existing products and series.

No matter the volume, start with a reference BOM and upload it.

A first cost analysis gives orientation and helps decide which cost-down approach to use.

VMCoach offers flexible roads to get the cost downs.

Either go for a parts-focused approach and do cost engineering at its best.

Or go for value engineering with function thinking and facelift or reinvent the new product.
