The Possibility of Applying the Value Engineering: Case of Municipality of Al-Salt

Abdullah R. Arabiyyat

Abstract


The study is aimed at investigating the possibility of applying the value engineering in the municipality of Al-Salt. The study proposes the value engineering for implementation in Jordan. The sample consisted of 132 employees derived from a population that had a sufficient knowledge of value engineering in the municipality of Al-Salt team. The data collection tool used was a self-administrated questionnaire. The study revealed the existence of a strong correlation between. Furthermore, the study sample agreed that value engineering is a widespread organizational practice. The study concluded that the utilization of value engineering is related to proper planning and follow-up of the applications for the value engineering in Al-Salt. In addition, the study recommended the spread of the culture of value engineering which was supported by the senior management at Al-Salt municipality.
