Earned value system appears to be a compelling technique to use on waste water treatment plant projects to better
understand and manage performance. Objectives: The main objective of this study is the practical application of the
concept of the earned value management acquired in the Al-Hamza water treatment plant project using Microsoft Project
2016 and finding the performance parameters for the Al-Hamza project, CPI, SPI, and TCPI. Methods: Al-Hamzah waste
water treatment plant project was constructed in 2017in Republic of Iraq. The data were collected through the field study
of the researcher in the Al-Hamzah project. The project schedule was prepared and then the progress of the work was
reviewed periodically and compared to the values planned with the actual values for the cost and duration. Results: it is
found that the earned value concept is still not been fully used and recognized within the Iraqi companies, while this
research covered the concept of earned value as a trend analysis within the Iraqi construction, the researcher found that the
earned value concept is still not been fully used and recognized within the Iraqi companies, reasons for that is not part of
this research and can be a subject for further research. While this research covered the concept of earned value as a trend
novel analysis within the Iraqi construction, the researcher found that the concept of the earned value management is not
fully accepted and acknowledged within other industries; where earned value could be used for help. The engineering
industry also fails to fully utilize the concept of earned value. The researcher agrees that further research into the concept
of earned value within other industry is worth researching as well as benefits of earned value as a performance measuring
tool.
