economic efficiency of the industrial facility and thus identifying and addressing deviations and setting 
future plans. Iraqi economy depends greatly on oil revenues which represent most of the country's 
revenue of foreign currencies and GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Then Iraqi oil industries are the main 
source of the financial status in Iraq and a vital resource of economy and the continuous construction

national oil companies such as Basra Oil Company which is one of those significant and basic companies
