“…The literature confirms that EVMS can be utilized in a wide variety of industries, including research, energy, oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, mining, software, residential, nuclear, production, harvesting, data center management, and EPC (Erez and Sloan 2017;Dodson et al 2015;Rybina et al 2015;Chirinos 2014;Efe and Demirörs 2013;Giammalvo 2012;Lorenz et al 2012;Wibiksana 2012;Jung et al 2011;Naderpour and Mofid 2011). However, research shows that there still exist challenges in applying EVMS to projects and programs in certain industries as indicated in what follows.…”

“…There is a consensus between academia and industry on this theme because both agree that risk management is critical to project success (Scheepbouwer et al 2018). Moreover, both types of publications focus on utilizing case studies (theme 5) across different industries to identify effective strategies in implementing EVMS and incorporating other systems (such as agile) with it (Bergerud 2017;Morad and El-Sayegh 2016;Oien 2015;Jung et al 2011).…”

Forward-Looking State-of-the-Art Review on Earned Value Management Systems: The Disconnect between Academia and Industry

et al. 2022

Earned value management (EVM) is a project management approach that can enhance the probability of project success. It is applied widely across different industry sectors (e.g., energy, aerospace, construction, defense, and manufacturing), generally through the use of an earned value management system (EVMS). A holistic and up-to-date literature review on EVM and EVMS does not exist. A literature review can provide a comprehensive perspective on the topic, identifying and summarizing the existing body of knowledge, as a foundation to advance the state of practice of EVM/EVMS. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate the EVM/EVMS state of the art by critically reviewing academic and industry publications, with a specific focus on the maturity of EVMS and the environment surrounding its implementation. By performing a systematic literature review, the authors identified 600 publications since the inception of the EVM concept in 1962, and then narrowed down this list to 160 relevant publications from the last decade for closer review. The findings include the discovery of eight emergent themes. Of these themes, "forecasting/prediction" constitutes the largest portion of the recent literature, followed by "application of EVMS." One interesting finding is that EVMS maturity, although being a critical topic, is only discussed in one publication. Publications focused on EVM/EVMS have increased in the last decade and significant differences were found between academia and industry literature in terms of the limitations and extensions of EVM/EVMS, EVMS environment, and compliance. A key finding is that designing a reliable EVMS should combine both technical and social aspects of implementation. This forward-looking paper provides a state-of-the-art review while highlighting gaps in the existing EVM/EVMS body of knowledge and introducing new perspectives to support EVMS research and application.

“…The method has been mostly implemented in large and big budget construction projects, so far, as power plants, etc. [6]. It is worth to notice that 47% of construction companies in United Arab Emirates, which is the country with spectacular construction sector, use that method in their daily practice [8].…”

Abstract. Earned Value Method (EVM) became in recent years the global standard for describing of the current time/budget status of engineering projects. It is the most preferred tool by international construction arbitrage bodies, in case the advancement of the construction project for a given date must be defined in a commonly recognizable way. Application of the method in every day site practice needs 2-3 people team dedicated just for that task, so the EVM it is used rather for large projects. However, using of the method in its reduced scale, as presented in the paper, can be fully economic also for medium size construction projects and provides set of information that can be very helpful for site managers in decision making processes. The numerical example of EVM used for medium size apartment construction project has been presented in the paper to illustrate the proposed concept of using EVM to the reduced extend.
