MERRY CHRISTMAS - HAPPY NEW YEAR
        FROM: MUSEUM SERVICES INTERNATIONAL

In keeping with the spirit of the Holidays and in an effort to put something "new" into the new year, we are proud to announce the availability of :

        CULTURAL AND MUSEUM VALUE METHODOLOGY SERVICES

WHAT IS VALUE METHODOLOGY?

Value Methodology (synonymous with the terms Value Engineering, Value Management, Value Analysis and Value For Money) is a professionally applied, function-oriented, systematic objective team approach used to analyze and improve value in a product, facility design, system design or service - a powerful methodology for solving problems and reducing costs while improving performance/quality requirements.  By enhancing value characteristics, Value Methodology increases customer satisfaction and adds value to the public's investment in your institution.  Value Methodology can be applied to any business or economic sector, including industry, government, construction and service.  In fact, Value Methodology is so effective in insuring program/project quality and reducing costs - that it is now mandated by law for use in all U.S. Federal Government Agencies and by some State Governments.

We hope to see you at The National Conference On Cultural Property Protection - 9-12 February 1998 - where we can more fully explore the field of Value Methodology and its use in the planning and operations of your institution.
