Value Engineering for the Selection of the Filler Material between Shoring Wall and the Structure

Value engineering is a technique to provide the necessary functions of a component or product at the lowest cost while meeting the specifications of quality, performance, and reliability. Development in the housing construction sector must be carried out as efficiently as possible by considering various factors. One of the most affecting factors is the selection of concrete types. The research was conducted on one of the housing projects located in Bumi Serpong Damai to know the most important criteria and the best alternative in selecting concrete types for housing projects. The criteria used are price, time, quality, ease of implementation, availability of tools and materials, technology, and concrete bearing capacity. Simultaneously, the alternatives reviewed are conventional concrete, ready mix concrete, and precast concrete. Research data in the form of questionnaires with the Saaty scale is analyzed by value engineering method with the Expert Choice program's help. Based on the analysis results, the most important criteria in selecting concrete types for residential projects are the quality of concrete with an eigen vector value of 31.1% and the best alternative was precast concrete with an eigen vector value of 47.8%.ABSTRAK Value engineering adalah suatu teknik untuk memberikan fungsi yang diperlukan dari suatu komponen atau produk dengan biaya terendah sekaligus memenuhi spesifikasi kualitas, kinerja, dan keandalan. Pembangunan dibidang konstruksi perumahan dituntut untuk dilaksanakan seefisien mungkin dengan mempertimbangkan berbagai faktor yang ada. Salah satu faktor yang paling mempengaruhi yaitu pemilihan jenis beton. Penelitian dilakukan pada salah satu proyek perumahan yang terletak di Bumi Serpong Damai dengan tujuan mengetahui kriteria terpenting dan alternatif terbaik dalam pemilihan jenis beton untuk proyek perumahan. Kriteria yang digunakan adalah harga, waktu, kualitas, kemudahan pelaksanaan, ketersediaan alat dan material, teknologi, dan daya dukung beton, sedangkan alternatif yang ditinjau adalah beton konvensional, beton ready mix, dan beton pracetak / precast. Data penelitian berupa kuisioner dengan skala Saaty dianalisis dengan metode value engineering dengan bantuan program Expert Choice. Berdasarkan hasil analisis didapati kriteria terpenting dalam pemilihan jenis beton untuk proyek perumahan adalah kualitas beton dengan nilai eigen vector sebesar 31,1% dan alternatif terbaik berupa beton pracetak / precast dengan nilai eigen vector sebesar 47,8%.

Objective - The authors describe a simple and effective tool for selecting digitization projects from competing alternatives, providing decision makers with objective, quantitative data. Methods - The paper adopts the value engineering methodology for the selection, evaluation and ranking of digitization project proposals. Project selection steps are described. Selection criteria are developed. Digitization costs are presented as an equation. Project value is determined by calculating projected performance of digital collections based on the established criteria over cost. Results - Scenarios are presented that evaluate and rank projects based on an evaluation of performance criteria and cost. The communication and use of rating criteria provides selectors with information about how proposed collections are evaluated. The transparency of the process output is easily communicated to stakeholders. Conclusions - Value engineering methodology provides a tool and a process that gives decision makers a set of objective, quantitative data upon which selection of digitization projects is based. This approach simplifies the selection process, and creates transparency so that all stakeholders are able to see why a decision was made.

Maintaining and enhancing the functionality of the infrastructure at an affordable cost are major challenges for decision makers, particularly given the need to cope with growing societal and transportation demands. This study introduces a systematic multi-criteria value engineering (VE) approach for the selection of a sustainable bridge system. A thorough VE analysis for a proposed long-span bridge in New Jersey, USA was carried out as a pilot study. The function analysis system technique was used to develop logical relationships between the project’s functions. A detailed 100-year life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) was conducted. The study developed and evaluated eight alternative designs for deck and superstructure systems against set VE criteria comprising constructability, maintenance strategies, and environmental impact. A relative value index was used as an unbiased measure for the selection of the optimal structural system. With total savings of approximately 21% of the original design ($132.5 million), steel plate girders with a high-performance lightweight steel grid deck system have proven to “outvalue” the other alternatives, including the preferred preliminary alternative (PPA). Design engineers and decision makers can use this methodology as a systematic and convenient guide for the selection of economical and sustainable bridge systems. As such, it is necessary to re-evaluate the current practices and policies used for this purpose.
