description: Understanding the right project scheduling methodology is essential to ensure project  completion on time. This research is addressing problem of project not complete on time  due to project scheduling methodology specifically Critical Path Method methodology  not entirely understood by project team. Objectives of this research is to identify the  advantages and disadvantages of Critical Path Method, to identify success factor of  Critical Path Method and to identify elements of Critical Path Method. The scope of this  research is on manufacturing industry specifically in electronics sector located in Johor  area and respondent consists of project management professionals. A total of 128 project  management professionals eligible for the study with response rate of 91.43%. From  those responses, 114 responses were valid for the final statistical assessment. The  methodology is based on quantitative research approach. Survey has been used as an  instrument for data collection while validity statistical analysis and reliability statistical  analysis were used to assess collected data. Studies show the reliable advantages of  Critical Path Method are assist project team to make an informed decision, delivers a  systematic project scheduling, visualize scheduling risk and enhance project flexibility.  Study also show reliable disadvantages of Critical Path Method are Critical Path increase  when project duration shortens, Critical Path Method become more complex when scope,  time and cost creep from initial project charter, Critical Path Method become ineffective  to manage when cost and time are too flexible and changes too dynamic. Study also show    that reliable success factor of Critical Path Method are maintain the project plan up-to-  date which accessible by everyone and maintain the stakeholder updated using the right  method of communication. Study show that reliable Critical Path Method elements are  Critical Path analysis, float calculation, early start and early finish calculation, float  determination and lastly late start and late finish calculation.
