Front-End Engineering

The basic goal of the design process is to produce a design of high technical quality that meets client requirement in a cost-effective and timely manner. FEED is one of the success keys to Project or Task success.

​

The primary characteristics of the design process that contributes to the high level of quality of the engineering product are:

• A clear definition of project objectives or task (a definitive scope)

• A specific plan for meeting project objectives and prime contract requirements

• Early documentation and approval of Design Criteria and performance requirements

• Iterations at the appropriate design stage to allow requirements to be refined and alternate designs to be assessed to optimize the process and its results

• Integration of pertinent interdisciplinary design information and technical knowledge

• Identification of process logic and tasks required to be completed before proceeding to the next phase
