2. GUIDE FOR SUBMISSION OF VA/VE SUGGESTION FORM DEFINITION / PURPOSE OF VA/VE Value Analysis / Value Engineering is a program used at MCI GSS to continually evaluate the design of products and components to identify potential improvements. The program reflects the MCI GSS company objective of continuous improvement using the “Kaizen” philosophy, and has also been proven to be beneficial to MCI GSS, MCI GSS’s Customers, and its suppliers. VA/VE SUGGESTION FORM The MCI GSS VA/VE suggestion system is intended to utilize supplier product knowledge to generate ideas for improvement of components and assemblies. These ideas can result in improved quality, safety, productivity, and piece price reduction. Approval of a VA/VE suggestion is not authorization for implementation. Suggestion ideas can only be implemented upon issuance of an Engineering Change Request (ECR) in accordance with the stated effective date. This ECR will be generated by the supplier and will be monitored and tracked by MCI GSS and the supplier.
