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

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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’m leaning towards standardizing production processes, but I need to think more about how that relates to value engineering.

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