Engineering is a value-adding process applying knowledge and skills in the construction industry that includes the planning, feasibility study, project management (PM), front end engineering and design (FEED), detail design, procurement, construction, supervision, and operation. Among these engineering activities, FEED is defined as a comprehensive design practice in the early design phase focused on conceptual design and basic design. It is a particularly influencing area that determines the competitiveness of procurement and construction capability of construction firms (KNIN 2013). Nevertheless, previous studies in FEED have been limited to the design process, deliverable, or particular management technique (e.g. system engineering, collaboration, information etc.). In this context, the purpose of this study is to propose a comprehensive FEED business process structure for project management of thermal power plant construction projects encompassing the entire project life cycle. And an assessment methodology for FEED functions was developed. It is expected that the proposed structure of FEED functions and FEED evaluation methodology will contribute to improvement of competitive capability of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies.

The capability of design and engineering of global EPC companies has long been equalized through past similar construction experiences. Among various key factors in the success of EPC project, the capability of engineering is considered to be the most important factor since the engineering is preceding activities of EPC contract. The failure of engineering may adversely affect the subsequent procurement & construction activities and in turn may cause cost overrun or schedule delay. Therefore, an EPC company needs to continue to improve the engineering capabilities for the success of project. The engineering capabilities can be further improved if the EPC company should prevent recurrence of similar design faults that were previously committed. This study is intended to present how to make the most of the failure examples from previous projects towards a success of project. Failure is but a stepping stone to success. The EPC company can obtain useful lessons from the analysis of past failure examples.

As issued the development of energy resources, EPC work process through the IT technology is essential for efficient business management, and systematic management of data generated in this process is needed. In domestic, the research related to system development for the collection and management of construction data detected in the field has been done continuously, but pipeline business target the long-distance in extreme cold weather, almost no cases have been studied up to now. Therefore, this research is aimed to derive the data item for efficient management in EPC Stage of pipeline business in extreme cold weather. WBS system of EPC work are classified easily at two levels, data items can be divided based on the type of document. In the future I will be expected to be the foundation of the systematic management of data generated in the EPC step-by-step of pipeline business.

In the EPC(Engineering Procurement and Construction) project of the plant, procurement engineering has a profound effect on the profitability of the project. It is important that the procurement specifications are well written to ensure that procurement engineering works properly. In the meantime, the procurement specifications have been created by the experience of the person in charge because there was no system for helping procurement engineering. To cope with this situation, we are developing a procurement engineering management support system (PeMSS). This paper describes how to implement a knowledge-based service in the procurement engineering management support system. First, we briefly introduce the PeMSS, the knowledge base application field, and how to apply it. The parts that requires knowledge-based service are parsing the requirements in the PDF (Portable Document Format) file and management of the document provided by the supplier of the equipment.

Due to the recent uncertainty of market situations such as the escalation of petroleum prices, increased production capacities of plants, limitations of the available EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contractors, and the increase of raw material prices, EPC contractors have had a tendency to include a higher reserve contingency in the lump-sum turnkey contract price. In order to overcome the changes in the market, the plant project construction industry has started to apply the converted lump-sum turnkey contract in plant construction market. This study was focused to find the associated risks and to analyse the identified risks on recent trend of application of the new contract type, which is the converted lump-sum turnkey contract. It was recognized from the analysis that quality and cost have more high priority risks than other project objectives. This paper also suggests the mitigation plan for identified risks to achieve project objectives appropriate to the converted lump-sum turnkey project from the viewpoint of an EPC contractor keeping transparency with owner.

LNG 플랜트사업은 그 특성상 해외에서 사업을 추진하기 때문에 사업관리도 일반적인 사업관리방식과는 차이점이 있다. LNG 플랜트 사업 프로세스는 가스탐사 및 생산, 물리적인 액화 및 화학적인 전환공정, 수송, 저장 등의 가치사슬로 구성되며, 주로 천연가스를 액체원료나 연료로 전환하는 장치를 중심으로 액화공정(초저온 액화) 및 FEED 패키지, 제어 운영, 건설수행 등 EPC 기술을 대상으로 하고 있다. 이러한 해외에서 수행되고 복잡한 LNG 플랜트공사의 성공은 사업관리 의사결정에 따른 사업의 성패가 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 LNG 플랜트공사의 시공단계 사업관리 의사결정지원 모델을 구축하기 위하여 EPC 단계별로 9개의 사업관리요소 항목을 도출하고, 각 항목별 중요도를 평가하였다. 중요도 평가결과, EPC 단계별로 사업관리와 리스크관리 항목이 공통적으로 중요한 것으로 도출되었다. 특히 본 연구는 사업관리 요소항목과 중요도 평가결과를 기반으로 LNG 플랜트공사의 시공단계의 의사결정지원모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 의사결정지원모델은 향후 시공단계의 사업관리 의사결정지원 시스템 구축의 기반이 될 것이다.

The market size of plant projects in overseas is so large that domestic EPC project contractors are actively seeking the overseas projects and then trying to meet completion plans since successful fulfillment of these projects can provide great opportunities for them to expand into new foreign markets. International EPC projects involve all of the uncertainties common to domestic projects as well as uncertainties specific to foreign projects including marine transportation, customs, regulations, nationality, culture and so on. When overseas project gets off-schedule, the resulting uncertainty may trigger unexpected exceptions and then critical effects to the project performance. It usually require much more time and costs to encounter these exceptions in foreign sites compared to domestic project sites. Therefore, an exception handling approach is required to manage exceptions effectively for successful project progress in foreign project sites. In this research, we proposed a methodology for prediction and evaluation of exceptions caused by risks in international EPC projects based on sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Networks. First, we identified project schedule risks and related exceptions, which may meet during the fulfillment of foreign EPC projects that is performed in a sequence of engineering, procurement, preparatory manufacture, foreign shipping, construction, inspection and modification activities, and affect project performance, using literature review and expert interviews. The impact of exceptions to the schedule delay were also identified. Second, we proposed a methodology to predict the occurrence of exceptions caused by project risks and evaluate them. Using sensitivity analysis, we can identify activities that critically affect schedule delay and need to focus by priority. Then, we use Bayesian Networks to predict and evaluate exceptions. Third, we applied the proposed methodology to an international EPC project example to validate the proposed approach. Finally, we concluded the research with the further research topics. We expect that the proposed approach can be extended to apply in exception management in project management.
