Thought leader Abate Kassa finds the U.S. government’s arbitrary
cost-cutting directives of austerity measures or sequestration as a
perfect example of moving in the wrong direction. Their system follows
rule-sense rather than value-sense. In this book, Mr. Kassa proposes
reengineered value analysis/value engineering (VA/VE) as the way to
deliver superior service at a minimum cost.

By mastering the
powerful re-engineered VA/VE problem-solving value methodology (PISERIA)
outlined in this book, any organization regardless of industry will be
able to self-diagnose problems and self-discover solutions.

The
book is the product of Abate Kassa's dual lenses of experience and
research over four decades. In the book, Mr. Kassa updates and upgrades
VA/VE by integrating popular improvement methodologies, including Six
Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Total Quality Management, Kaizen, Business
Process Reengineering, and Project Management, into the scientific
method of the value methodology he dubbed PISERIA. By so doing, the
author hopes to positively disrupt the status quo of the siloed thinking
of these fragmented methodologies.

If you are engaged in the
pursuit of excellence and are ready to make the leap from good to great,
while generating an immediate payback, you will want to empower your
people with an understanding of the reengineered VA/VE outlined in this
book.
