今天PMP讲座听了EPC的内容，和我平时做的项目管理方法不很相同，学习了。

EPC为Engineering Procurement and Construction或Engineer，Procure and Construct的缩写，可译为设计——采购——施工项目合同条件。一般情况下由承包商实施所有的设计、采购和建造工作，完全负责项目的设备 和施工，雇主基本不参与工作。即在"交钥匙"时，提供一个配套完整、可以运行的设施。

WIKI上的解释：

In an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, the EPC contractor (EPCC) agrees to deliver the keys of a commissioned plant to the owner for an agreed amount, just as a builder hands over the keys of a flat to the purchaser. The EPC way of executing a project is gaining importance worldwide. But it is also a way that needs good understanding, by the EPCC, for a profitable contract execution.
