Abstract
In today’s competitive business situations, it is indispensable for corporations to expedite the value improvement for services and provide fine products satisfying the required function with reasonable costs. This paper provides the management system with dynamic variables for the value improvement of services based on the value engineering and the systems approach, which is regarded an ill-defined problem with fuzziness. The characteristics of this paper are to be able to perform the value improvement of services based on long term vision. Finally, in order to show how the proposed system works, a practical example on the value improvement of services is illustrated and its validity is examined.
