What is the purpose of sending value engineering analysis to external suppliers?

ATo improve early supplier involvement

DTo standardise production processed

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Explanation

Value engineering is often applied to new products or services. Early supplier involvement (ESI) is the involvement of a supplier in the product development process from a very stage in order to use the supplier's experience and expertise. ESI can bring cost reduction opportunities, process improvements, supply chain improvements and reduce supply risk. Both processes focus on development of new product or service. They tend to work the best if they are used together.

I feel like improving existing products could also be a reason, but it seems less likely than the others.

I remember a practice question that mentioned analyzing the supply market, so maybe that's the right answer?

I think the purpose might be to improve early supplier involvement, but I'm not entirely sure.
