Requirement Engineering Impact on Value Engineering implementation

Abstract

Value engineering is a demanding part of project design engineering in traditional core engineering fields. Requirement engineering significantly impacts the engineering process; it is a systematic process of defining, documenting, maintaining, and managing requirements. (Pohl &Rupp,2016)

The thesis is performed as part of my master's studies and for Citec Oy Ab, a global engineering company headquartered in Vaasa. When working on projects, the engineering process is often not up to the mark, majorly due to improper communication, unknown and hidden requirements. The responsible project engineers and leaders must clearly understand the challenges that can happen to the project so that they can do early enough preventive actions to improve the success rate. The thesis's primary purpose is to research existing techniques and methodologies used in requirement engineering and design process. Based on the theoretical findings, analysis of the company's existing requirement gathering, and engineering design process methods, the first version of the report will be written for value improvements.
