Abstract

FEED (Front End Engineering and Design) is the key area that determines the competitiveness of procurement and construction in the EPC contracts especially in terms of the added value. Nevertheless, previous researches in FEED have been limited to the process and deliverable of design work or the particular management business function (e.g. System Engineering, collaboration, information etc.). In this context, the purpose of this study is to propose a comprehensive FEED structure and its functions from the project management perspective throughout the whole project life-cycle for thermal power plants. Proposed FEED business procedures are classified into three levels; First level is the classification of FEED business phases, the second level defines major FEED management functions, and the third level is detailed FEED functions. A survey using proposed FEED functions and assessment variable was conducted in order to analyze the current status and the areas for future improvement. It is expected that the proposed structure, functions, and evaluation methodology for FEED management will contribute to effective practice of FEED as well as to improvement of competitive capability for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies.

해외 플랜트 사업에서의 고부가가치를 창출하기 위해서는 기획 타당성조사, 프로젝트종합관리, FEED 및 기본설계 등 분야의 기술경쟁력 강화가 시급하다. 특히, FEED 업무는 프로젝트 전체에 대한 영향력이 절대적이고, 또한 기자재 및 패키지 산업의 경쟁력 강화에도 결정적 역할을 한다. 그럼에도 불구하고, FEED 관련 선행연구들은 설계업무 중심의 프로세스 및 성과물을 위한 연구가 대부분이며, 프로젝트 전체에 영향을 미치는 관리적 관점의 FEED 업무에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 발전플랜트 중 화력발전소를 대상으로 사업관리 관점의 FEED 업무 프로세스 구조 및 항목을 제안하였다. 도출된 FEED 관리 업무는 3개의 레벨로 나누어진 계층적 구조를 가지고 있으며, 업무 항목에 대한 전문가 검증을 실시하였다. 또한 FEED 관리 업무에 대한 평가지표별 평가를 통해 결과를 분석한 결과 설계 중심의 업무들은 역량이 높지만 중요도가 높은 관리적 관점의 FEED 업무들의 역량은 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 제안한 FEED 관리업무 프로세스 구조는 FEED 역량 강화를 위한 가이드라인이 될 것이라 기대한다.
