Different between value analysis and value engineering?

There is no difference between value analysis and value engineering. Both are names applied to the same formal analytical process developed at General Electric in 1947 by Larry Miles. It was originally called value analysis, and has come to be called by several names as time has passed (value analysis, value engineering, value management, the value methodology). The term "Value Engineering" is also often mis-used to refer to any exercise to reduce cost.
