Question

you create a new type of electric shaver that is lightweight, portable, and holds a longer charge. you want to use value engineering to improve the shaver. which action is an example of value engineering? 0000 putting a faster motor inside the shaver to increase the quality of a shave. using cheaper materials for the cover without affecting overall quality. moving manufacturing to a third - party plant. putting a smaller motor inside the shaver to make the shaver run faster.

Explanation:

Value engineering aims to increase value by reducing costs without sacrificing quality or by enhancing functionality while keeping costs in check. Using cheaper materials for the cover without affecting overall quality is a cost - reduction measure that maintains value. Putting a faster motor may increase costs and may not be in line with value - engineering cost - benefit focus. Moving manufacturing to a third - party plant doesn't directly relate to improving the product's value in terms of cost - benefit for the product itself. Putting a smaller motor to make it run faster is not a typical value - engineering approach as it may compromise performance or reliability.

Answer:

Using cheaper materials for the cover without affecting overall quality.
