This study is to define value engineering. Value engineering is a systematic method to improve the value of goods or product by using an examination of function. Value as define is the ratio of function to cost. It can therefore be increase by either improving the function or reducing the cost. Piston is called as heart of an engine. Since long, the researchers are studying in this area to improve the engine efficiency. Geometry optimization by reducing the material has been gaining importance in automobile field because by removing the material the weight of the piston decreases which helps to decrease the load on the engine and improve the efficiency. The piston selected for the study is of Honda shine 124.7cc. Structural analysis is performed to find the stresses generated on the piston in working environment by using software NX. Material used for piston is cast aluminium. The practical trial is performed by modifying the existing piston to measure the change in efficiency.
