Application of Value Engineering on Military Maintenance Works

[[abstract]]價值工程應用於國內外新建工程之成效備受肯定，其運用技術亦已相當成熟，在國內已有國道新建工程局、台北市政府捷運局及高速鐵路公司等有應用價值工程之成果報告，惟對於價值工程應用於維護工程，由於決策者受限於經費及缺乏具體策略，因此採行者鮮少，亦缺少相關應用經驗及檢討報告。 本研究回顧價值工程運用於新建工程之效益及範圍，並參酌維護工程特性，藉以檢討價值工程導入維護工程時之間題，並探討可行之推動策略。 研究結果顯示，除了基本的機能比較及成本效益評估外，軍方維護工程決策程序簡易且自主性高，須考量戰備等要素，使價值工程應用於軍方維護工程，需要特別考量任務功能需求。目前價值工程應用於維護工程的問題主要在於：(a)決策者缺乏導入價值工程之觀念。(b)維護工程介入時機難以界定。(c)價值工程資源與技術不足。爾後建議可依階段性導入軍方維護工程上，由部份單位先行試辦，發展出配合軍方維護工程特性之策略，並應用在任務評估、空間配置及人力資源使用最佳化上。[[abstract]]The successful use of Value Engineering on construction works has been widely recognized and the technique of application is considered fully developed and very comprehensive in the end of the last century. In Taiwan, VE were also adopted in many new construction projects and many studies have been made on the use of VE on Taiwan High Speed Railway projects, Taipei MRT projects, and National Expressway projects. However, few were made on the use of VE on maintenance works. This research reviews previous studies concerning the effect of VE on new construction projects and then focuses on the problems and feasible strategy of its application on the maintenance works. It appears that except for the consideration of basic function requirements and cost effectiveness, the decision procedure of military works are relatively simple and independent. The finding are (a) that the decision maker need to accept VE concept, (b) it is hard to decide the timing to introduce VE in a maintenance work, (c) in general, maintenance work is smaller than new project and has few major items which affect the total project cost. It is suggested that due to lack of VE profession in military services, the introduction of VE to military can be divided in to many phases and a small scale experiment should be made to develop a strategy which can satisfy military demand
