Plant owners and engineering, procurement and construction contractors are facing increasing pressure to increase plant efficiency, reliability, availability and safety. Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) is a key process that identifies technical challenges and estimates investment cost. Systems engineering (SE) translates an operational need into a system designed to meet that need; therefore SE can help to implement FEED. This study develops guidelines about how to build and apply SE during the implementation of FEED. A House of Quality matrix is used to investigate causal connections between FEED processes in the plant‐construction industry and technical activities of SE, and a survey of engineering experts is used to quantitatively demonstrate the opportunity to increase the effectiveness of SE, and to demonstrate the implications of the relationship between FEED and SE in terms of plant type, business type, and area of expertise.
