Value Engineering

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Value Program embodies a highly refined approach to efficiency and effectiveness within government, mirroring a proven, iterative methodology that emphasizes essential value at every stage. By systematically questioning and analyzing requirements, assumptions, and constraints, the Value Program ensures that only the most relevant and beneficial components are included. This process sharpens focus, removing unnecessary elements and burdens that may inflate costs or otherwise prevent us from meeting expectations.

The Program finds success in challenging and validating requirements and, where appropriate, seeking simplification and optimization to ensure stewardship of American taxpayer resources.

Every function is evaluated and streamlined to maximize the return on investment, aligning with USACE’s mission of enhancing value to both the warfighter and the taxpayer. Through the rapid iteration of project solutions, the Value Program accelerates project delivery while simultaneously ensuring quality and functionality. Once the essential components and optimal workflows are in place, further opportunities for efficiency and effectiveness are integrated, creating value long-term.

Ultimately, the USACE Value Program delivers a dynamic and value-centered approach to federal project management, aligning with a rigorous standard that promotes innovation and agility. This commitment – to refining, simplifying, and accelerating value delivery – positions the USACE Value Program as a leading federal resource for maximizing efficiency, so every dollar spent directly benefits the American public.

 Since its inception, the USACE Value Program has reported over $24 billion in cost avoidance and cost savings, resulting in added capabilities to federal resources at a return of investment of over 200:1.
