A VM program’s standard operating procedures should include
A.
a requirement that each VM team member be independent from the development team.
B.
how subjects for VM studies are identified.
C.
a listing of standard functions to be included in a VM study.
D.
a required number of creative ideas to be generated in a study.
The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
The correct answer is B . A VM program’s standard operating procedures should define how candidate subjects or projects are identified, screened, selected, prioritized, and authorized for VM studies. This belongs to VM program governance because limited VM resources must be applied to subjects with appropriate scope, timing, information availability, organizational importance, and value-improvement potential. SAVE’s Value Standard states that the standard assists managers and value program managers in applying VM within organizations in a consistent manner, and also guides practitioners and managers in determining when to apply VM to a project to maximize innovation and implementation benefits. ( wsdot.wa.gov )
Option A is too rigid. SAVE recognizes multidisciplinary teams of experienced professionals and stakeholders; people outside the project may be added for perspective, but every team member is not required to be independent from the development team. ( wsdot.wa.gov ) Option C is incorrect because functions are not pre-listed generically; they are identified specifically for the study subject during Function Analysis. Option D is also incorrect because creativity should encourage broad idea generation, but the SOP should not prescribe a fixed number of ideas as a universal requirement. VM procedures should standardize the management process, not force artificial technical outputs.
