Le super PEPS de l'université LavalRené DonaisMichel Veilleux Patrick Vallerand Dans un contexte de ressources financières restreintes, les organismes doivent être vigilants quant à la façon de réaliser leur projet d'immobilisation. Cette vigilance comprend non seulement la mise en place de mécanismes de contrôle éprouvés et efficaces, mais surtout un renforcement du potentiel créatif de l'équipe de projet. Ce concept va au-delà des principes usuels et traditionnels de développement de projet. À cet égard, la conception intégrée, est une technique qui, certes, facilite la communication. Cependant, elle ne cherche pas à développer une vision commune des résultats recherchés, un fort sentiment d'appartenance au projet ni à abolir les silos des spécialités et les paradigmes des clients et des concepteurs. |

Enhancing public value through the application of Value Analysis and Risk Analysis on Mega projects in OntarioThe Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) leads Canadian agencies in the use of VA/VE/VM. Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation has seen an expansive growth in the use of VE from an early focus on policies and standards to a robust program that uses the Value Methodologies to improve value in projects, products, services and organizational structure. This presentation will highlight why and how VE and Risk Analysis has been used on Ontario’s largest ever infrastructure projects. It is difficult for infrastructure owners to know if they have achieved value in large, technically complex (Mega) projects. Mega projects often have aggressive schedules and many constraints. Ontario has turned to using VE and Risk Analysis to systematically challenge the project assumptions and provide decision makers with the opportunity to consider alternatives to the proposed solution. The VE and Risk Analysis process results in Subject Matter Experts developing alternative designs that reflect the true constraints and project risks. |

Value Management Optimizes Projects for New York CityThis Presentation describes the Best Practices developed over many years of establishing and managing the largest Value Management Program outside of the US government program. The NYC VM Program reviews a broad range of project types including buildings, infrastructure, and agency operations. This Presentation covers project selection, timing and approaches to reduce designer resistance and to increase confidence in cost management, levels of participation during VM studies, benefits, and innovations which ensure a professional and holistic review of each project. Specific case studies will be used to illustrate results. |
Introduction to Value AnalysisCraig L. SquiresAbstract: Presentation includes an Executive Overview of how Value Engineering (VE) including how it began, how it has developed over time, and the basics of when and how it should be used. Attendees will learn why VE is an essential ingredient in achieving many kinds of breakthrough results and the basics of how it can be applied to innovate and improve value of projects, products and processes. VE is famous for consistently reducing costs, but those who use it as a cost reduction tool alone are missing out on its many other benefits. When planning and managing various types of projects, there are always issues of scope, features and functionality that should be delivered while there is rarely enough time or resources to deliver all the desired functionality. Learn the basics of how incorporating VE into project management plans can make a positive impact in designing and delivering solutions that are both efficient and innovative. |

Alberta Infrastructures ProgramValue Management has long been important in the advancement of projects in the Alberta Government. Lessons learned have recently been incorporated into a formal value management program where it is felt that a consistent approach to capital projects will bring about benefits. A need for a higher order of value assurance in the provision of infrastructure has also been recognized. Stewardship and sustainability are ways in which our public realizes value and these public values lead to the management of life cycle costs. This presentation will discuss how a formal value management program was established and where we see focus and benefit. I will also walk through Alberta Infrastructure's roadmap to value assurance from the creation of a value management program to the life cycle cost management project currently underway. This Presentation describes the Best Practices developed over many years of establishing and managing the largest Value Management Program outside of the US government program. |
Wastewater System Expansion and Upgrade Program by the City of HamiltonValue Planning brings Consensus on Optimal Technologies for a $700 Million Wastewater System Expansion and Upgrade Program by the City of Hamilton, Ontario, thus helping to Achieve Goals of Cleaner Water within Hamilton Harbour. Paul Johnson, CVS will provide an overview of the Value Engineering/Value Planning study he facilitated in April 2010 for the City of Hamilton, Ontario at the preliminary design phase for $700 million in planned wastewater plant and real time control system upgrades that will be implemented over the next 5 years. The plant improvements will increase the treatment effectiveness of treated effluent being discharged into Hamilton Harbor, and ultimately into Lake Ontario, to meet increasingly higher environmental goals. The Real Time Control (RTC) system will provide increased capability of retaining combined sewer and storm water flows, and either metering it to the plant or out to the harbor. The program involves large diameter tunneling for collection system improvements, and disc or membrane filtration for tertiary treatment improvements. The goal of the study was to select optimal technical solutions for plant expansion and the RTC system, and to make sure that major elements of the projects work seamlessly as a whole. The study accomplished this goal. Four design firms, several objective industry experts, and the City of Hamilton, participated in the Value Planning study facilitated by Mr. Johnson. |
