Value engineering (VE)and value analysis (VA)use the same methods,but VA is performed in the design stage and VE is performed in the redesign stage.

Value engineering (VE) and value analysis (VA) have some overlap in their methods, but they are not exactly the same. VA is typically performed in the design stage, while VE is performed in the redesign stage. VA involves analyzing a product or process to identify areas where costs can be reduced or value can be added, while VE involves making changes to an existing product or process to improve its value.
