Front End Engineering Design ( FEED)

Project Management training series, Front End Engineering Design (FEED) is a basic engineering study after Conceptual Design or Feasibility Study. Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) is early design work done after conceptual business planning and prior to detailed design. The FEED phase is the most critical time for controlling costs, optimizing the design and confirming the project execution strategy.

The primary goal of Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) is to define the technical and project specific requirements for a system as to provide a clear scope and design basis for entering into the execution phases. The secondary goal of FEED is to develop a good project cost estimate that can be used for budget authorization and as a control baseline for execution phase work.
