Advantage of Design Competition

Applicable only to non-creative work such as accounting, secretarial, research, data gathering, preparation.

This technique is applied in the cost management process to minimize the negative effect of many cost-reduction programs.

The goal is to achieve an unimpaired program at a minimum cost. Thus, a plan, design, or system that has been successfully value-managed will still satisfy the same performance criteria as the costlier alternatives.
