This document discusses applying value engineering techniques to enhance the value of a slit housing component used in microscopes. The current slit housing design and manufacturing process were analyzed. Alternative designs and materials were brainstormed, and options were evaluated based on criteria like ease of use, durability, and cost. Implementing the proposed design changes resulted in a 36.79% reduction in per unit cost, translating to annual savings of over Rs. 573,200 for an annual demand of 10,000 units. The value engineering goals of identifying unnecessary functions, adding desirable functions, and reducing costs through eliminating redundancies were achieved.
