English Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the awareness of value engineering and to investigate value engineering (VE) practice in Jordan Phosphate Mines Company and Arab Potash Company as cases of study, and the importance of the use and adoption of value engineering to achieve sustainable value in the Jordanian industry sector to reach sustainable industry.
A survey methodology was utilized using questionnaires to gather data from a list of the two companies (JPMC and APC) from Jordanian industry sector.
A total of 67 usable questionnaires were received and were used for data analysis from 100 managers and engineers representing the research sample.
Descriptive analyses were used to achieve the study objectives.
The findings indicate that, very few of respondents know the essence of value engineering and there is no actual usage in their organizations, and a high percentage of the respondents have a desire to learn more about value engineering.
Although the concept of sustainability is well understood within the most of the respondents, but most of them are not involved in the strategic plans for sustainable value creation in the company, and company procedure towards sustainable value creation is not enough until now and suffers from a lack of transparency and a lack of familiarity or involvement of the workforce in the strategic plans of creating sustainable value in the company.
The study concludes with several recommendations for the decision makers in Jordanian Industry sector and researchers, in addition to tips to study other variables related to value engineering that is hoped to move the field forward.
