Neither term is mentioned in the syllabus for Paper F5!
However value analysis is examining the systems and design, value engineering is then modifying the systems and design (having done the analysis).
Managing and controlling costs mean the same.

Although it fits with target costing, it can not be specifically asked about 🙂

Our lectures stress the importance of re-examining the design (which is what this is referring to) but there is absolutely no need to refer to it in the exam as ‘value engineering’ 🙂
