Abstract

Increasing product value is a topic that is always a concern for manufacturers. In the case one of the best methodologies is value engineering. There are different steps for performing value engineering in different sources. One of the important and primary phases in performing value engineering is the functional analysis phase. According to this paper, it is possible to perform the product function analysis phase in the proposed improved failure modes and effects analysis framework that is one of the ways of the correct performance analyzing of the products in the National Standard of America. Using of proposed framework not only performs the function analysis process step by step but also reveals one of the hidden factors which are effective on the value of the product functions. In this way, failure risk is revealed in order to calculate the real value and recognize the low-value functions for introducing to the value engineering creativity phase. On the other hand one of the advantages of using the framework presented in this paper is that due to the symmetry of the time to run failure modes and effects analysis and implement value engineering, it integrates a part of the implementation of failure modes and effects analysis and value engineering.
