Some basic notes about VM:

Value Management (VM) is a structured, systematic and analytical process which seeks to achieve value for money.  The VM Process originated at General Electric (GE) during World War II to overcome critical wartime shortages of goods and services.  Larry Miles developed what he named Value Analysis based on the examination of required functions and then developing alternatives to achieve them.  He became the acknowledged "father" of VM after GE adopted the process company-wide following the war.

The VM process is widely applied to management decision-making at any level of an organization and specifically applied to projects, products, systems, services or processes.  In 1998, the success of VM is recognized by Hong Kong SAR Government.  Works Bureau introduces its application to the Public Works Programme.  Value Management Study has been adopted by the Government of HKSAR for Public Works over HK$200 million.  It has been proven very successful in developing cost effective solutions, generating ideas to enhance project values, resolving issues or disputes, selecting options, etc.
