Value added
Value added means a carrying out or completing a process that adds value to the part or parts it is being carried out on. For instance, changing a piece of metal into a bar that can be used to make something adds value, but leaving it lying about in a warehouse does not add value.

Never heard of value depleted, just things that don't add value. I suppose breaking it would reduce the value though.

p.s I don't do business administration, I'm hope to be one of those there engineers.
