a The extended team of manufacturing specialists was.in.charge of doing the project work. Faced with the lack of a formal project management process and experience, the core team received basic project management training before hiring a consultant who helped develop a detailed CPM schedule. Gearing to launch the execution, The core team explained the CPM schedule to the extended team members, asking them to get the work started and to report progress in a week. The problem was, the extended team members commented, that because of CPM's complexity, they were not able to use it as a basis for planning, organizing, and reporting. A few days later, a quality improvement project (QIP) including members from both teams was chartered to find a solution to the problem Critical Path Method (CPM) were developed as a network diagram technique for analyzing planning, and scheduling projects. To provides a means of representing project activities as nodes or arrows, determining which of them are "critical" in their impact on project completion time and scheduling them in order to meet a target date at a minimum cost. CPM uses deterministic activity time estimates (the most likely), rather than probabilistic activity time estimates (eg, the optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely) such as those used in Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). The typical use of CPM was for construction projects, although it is nowadays applied in many types of projects across various industries.
