Overview

EN 1325:2014 - published by CEN - is the European vocabulary standard for Value Management (VM). It defines a common language and precise terms and definitions used to optimise performance and productivity across organisations, projects, products and services. The standard updates and supersedes EN 1325-1:1996 and EN 1325-2:2004 and is intended as a single, accessible reference for specialists and non‑specialists working with value-based approaches.

Key topics

EN 1325:2014 establishes standardized terminology for the Value Management field, including:

• Core concepts: value, stakeholder, customer, user, product, cost, need, resources, life cycle, life situation, constraint.
• Value Management scope and culture: definitions of VM, value culture, and structured VM programme.
• Roles: value manager, enquirer, designer (designer‑producer), project owner - clarifying responsibilities in VM activities.
• Core methods and tools: Function Analysis (FA), Functional Need Analysis (FNA), Technical Function Analysis (TFA), Function Cost, Functional Performance Specification, Value Analysis (VA), Value Engineering, Design to Cost and Design to Objective.
• Supporting structure: alphabetical index and bibliography to facilitate international communication and harmonised application.

The standard aims to reduce ambiguity, clarify where everyday language differs from VM usage, and minimise inconsistency between international standards.

Practical applications

EN 1325:2014 is a foundational reference for organisations applying value-based approaches to improve efficiency, performance and competitiveness:

• Use in project management and product development to ensure a common understanding of functions, constraints and stakeholder needs across multidisciplinary teams.
• Reference for value studies and VM programmes when preparing Functional Performance Specifications or conducting Function Analysis and Value Analysis sessions.
• Guidance for procurement, design-to-cost initiatives and value engineering exercises where precise definitions of cost, resources and life cycle are essential.
• Training and competency development for value managers, designers, consultants, quality managers and procurement professionals seeking standardised terminology.

Who should use this standard

• Value managers and VM facilitators
• Project owners and designers (architects, consulting engineers)
• Product development and procurement teams
• Standards bodies, trainers and consultants working in value engineering, functional analysis and performance optimisation

time interval from product inception until its removal from use and disposal Note 1 to entry: Life cycle encompasses evolution undergone by a product studied in the course of time, from its conceptualisation to its withdrawal. 'Withdrawal' should be understood as the final elimination of the product beyond its withdrawal from service. Note 2 to entry: Examination of life cycle may consider product usage conditions which may be encountered including scenario planning, risk assessment, transport, handling, storage, intended duration of use and other factors. 2.1.11 life situation

VM style of management, particularly dedicated to motivating people, developing skills and promoting synergies and innovation, with the aim of maximising the overall performance of an organization Note 1 to entry: Applied at the Corporate perspective, Value Management relies on a value culture taking into account value for both stakeholders and customers. At the operational perspective (including project oriented activities), it implies in addition the use of appropriate methods and tools. Note 2 to entry: Value Management can also be considered as a framework within which methods and tools are deployed to improve performance. Terms for core tools are defined in this standard. 2.2.2 value culture attitude, awareness and sufficient knowledge of what the concept of value represents for an organization and its stakeholders and of the factors that may affect this value Note 1 to entry: It includes an appropriate knowledge of available methods and tools and an awareness of managerial and environmental conditions which enable Value Management to flourish. Note 2 to entry: It includes the examination of organizational behaviours and climate. Note 3 to entry: Value Management approaches address both Management by Value, whereby the concepts of function and value are taken fully into account in management and decision-making, and Management of Value, which is aimed at the successful completion of projects through the use of one or more value management methods.
[SOURCE: Value Management Handbook] 2.2.3 value management programme planned and structured array of activities which enables the development, implementation and maintenance of Value Management policy in a sustainable manner Note 1 to entry: VM is deployed as a framework within an organization, as specific programmes, as projects and as discrete studies within projects.

designer-producer entity responsible for the design of a product and sometimes of its providing Note 1 to entry: The designer/designer - producer is either an external organization, or a department from the same organization as the enquirer. Note 2 to entry: In certain sectors a designer is called ‘consulting engineer’ or ‘architect’. 2.2.4.4 project owner entity responsible for the definition of the need and for the specified objective, which procures the management of the project, the selection of the designer(s), pilots the action, and assures, and finances the activity 2.3 Terms related to core methods of value management Terms related to Core Methods of Value Management are defined below. Guidance on deployment and use of these methods is given in separate standards. Core methods include: — Function Analysis; — Function Cost; — Functional Performance Specification; — Value Analysis and Value Engineering; — Design to Cost and Design to Objective. 2.3.1 function analysis
FA process that describes completely the functions and their relationships, which are systematically characterised, classified and evaluated Note 1 to entry: The function structure is a part of the result of Function Analysis. Note 2 to entry: Function Analysis covers two approaches: the Functional Need Analysis (or External Function analysis) and the Technical Function Analysis (or Internal Function analysis).
