We have a new course, "Value Methodology" that is being administered by VMS - Value Management Strategies.
This exciting and innovative course has been designed to provide individuals with a fundamental understanding of Value Methodology, which is more commonly known as Value Engineering. Value Methodology (VM) is a practical body of knowledge that provides a proven means for improving the value of projects, products, and services by focusing on functions and their relationship with cost, performance, time and risk.
