==Front-End Engineering== Front-End Engineering (FEE), or Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), is an engineering design approach used to control project expenses and thoroughly plan a project before a fix bid quote is submitted.〔http://www.epcengineer.com/definition/556/feed-front-end-engineering-design〕 It may also be referred to as Pre-project planning (PPP), front-end loading (FEL), feasibility analysis, or early project planning. The FEE is basic engineering which comes after the Conceptual design or Feasibility study. The FEE design focuses the technical requirements as well as rough investment cost for the project. The FEE can be divided into separate packages covering different portions of the project. The FEE package is used as the basis for bidding the Execution Phase Contracts (EPC, EPCI, etc) and is used as the design basis. A good FEE will reflect all of the client's project-specific requirements and avoid significant changes during the execution phase. FEE contracts usually take around 1 year to complete for larger-sized projects. During the FEE phase there is close communication between Project Owners and Operators and the Engineering Contractor to work up the project-specific requirements. Front-End Engineering focuses on technical requirements and identifying main costs for a proposed project.〔http://www.epicpackaginglines.com/lineevaluation/line-evaluation/〕 It is used to establish a price for the execution phase of the project and evaluate potential risks. It is typically followed by Detailed Design (or Detailed Engineering). The amount of time invested in Front-End Engineering is higher than a traditional quote, because project specifications are thoroughly extracted and the following typically developed in detail: * Project Organization Chart * Project Scope : * Defined civil, mechanical and chemical engineering : * HAZOP, safety and ergonomic studies : * 2D & 3D preliminary models : * Equipment layout and installation plan : * Engineering design package development : * Major equipment list : * Automation strategy * Process Flow Diagrams * Project timeline * Fixed-bid quote Traditionally, all of these documents would be developed in detail during a design review after a quote has been agreed to. A company using FEE will develop these materials before submitting a quote. Front-end engineering is typically used by design/build engineering firms. These firms may operate in various industries including: * Automation * Chemical processing * Construction * EPC * Equipment design * Manufacturing * Pharmaceuticals * Petrochemicals * Process system design * Production line design * Refining * Machine Vision 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Front-end engineering」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
