Abstract

Value engineering is a collection of the organized and creative arts and skills which are guided to analyze the function of the product or the system. They aim to realize these functions with the minimum costs. Khorassan Pooya Gostar Company is the largest contractor of the Iranian car manufactures has to make endeavors to provide the rubber parts of disparate types of cars along with Iran’s industry to make its products competitive.

This research is among the applied ones due to the objective type but considering the data gathering tools it is classified as descriptive researches. This research has been carried out based on the international American value engineering association during 3 chief stages by following the executive steps of each stage.
