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? putting a smaller motor inside the shaver to make the shaver run faster. using cheaper materials for the cover without affecting overall quality. moving manufacturing to a third - party plant. putting a faster motor inside the shaver to increase the quality of a shave.

Explanation:

Value engineering focuses on improving value by reducing costs while maintaining or enhancing function/quality. Using cheaper materials for the cover without affecting overall quality reduces cost (improving value) while keeping the shaver's quality intact. Other options: smaller motor for faster run may not relate to value engineering goals, moving manufacturing is about production location not value engineering, and faster motor for better shave is about enhancing function without cost reduction focus.

Answer:

Using cheaper materials for the cover without affecting overall quality.
