本研究主要在討論具有競爭商業環境下建構一管理前端的複雜方案。本研究介紹單一專案管理採用策略觀點越過計劃生命週期以整合上下游的過程。透過考慮整體過程建構整合前端計劃訊息，功能性和可操作性。利用一案例來闡述如何使用模擬模式有效評估方案過程或連接那些透過標準解決辦法的結果。

This paper discusses a framework for managing front-ends of complex projects in a competitive business environment. The research introduces a unique project management approach which focuses on adopting a strategic view by integrating upstream and downstream processes over project life cycle. The framework integrates front-end project information, functionality and operability of underlying processes by considering whole of life approach. A case study is used to demonstrate how simulation modelling is used to effectively evaluate alternative project processes and link the outcomes for benchmarking viable project solution.
