Value analysis is a method used to identify and eliminate unnecessary costs in a product or service. It focuses on improving the value of a product or service by reducing its cost without sacrificing its quality or function.
Value engineering is a systematic process used to identify and eliminate unnecessary costs in a product or service. It focuses on improving the value of a product or service by increasing its quality, performance, or functionality without increasing its cost.
The main difference between value analysis and value engineering is that value analysis focuses on cost reduction, while value engineering focuses on value improvement. Value engineering also involves a more structured and systematic approach to identifying opportunities for improvement, whereas value analysis may be more informal and focused on a specific product or service.
