| Abstract |
The role and importance of VE have been enlarged since VE application was mandatory by law in public sector in March, 2000. Public organizations have widened the technological horizon through VE competitions and applied VE technique to private investment projects. Many studies have been carried out on function analysis and VE procedure. In practice it is common that clients make a decision one-sidedly on whether or not VE proposals are selected. The VE procedure itself is not smooth. This study gives some suggestions on VE appraisal procedure and criteria at the last phase on VE process in order to smooth the progress of VE. The results of this study can be used as a tool to improve efficiency in the management of VE. |
