member team as part ot a week-long workshop in value engineering held in Fredericksburg in May, Ms. Sorrell said. The seminar was one of three or four held each year by the Management Services Division to acquaint highway department personnel with value engineering techniques, she said.
The study was produced by “students training to use value engineering. They are not that experienced in the techniques." The team may include, she added, “maybe one or two people experienced with the standards and specifications of arterial highways.” The teams spend, typically, one or two days reviewing each project and submitting a value engineering report.
Ms. Sorrell said that each project is subjected to the value engineering process during an early phase of planning, called the “scoping” process. That analysis, done by the Location and Design Division, involves “experienced" field engineers who spend considerable time — often several months, Ms. Sorrell said — “determining the scope of the work on the project.” In an analysis of alternatives, she added, value engineering techinques are among the tools used to define principles and the final scope of the project.
“I am a little sensitive,” she said.
