Not exactly.
It will show you what the critical steps are which prevent the project proceeding until it is completed. By following the time line, you will be able to see what the fastest way to complete the project is, and the total time required is.
Mainly used in complex projects, but on a knife, for example, the sheath is not critical till the knife is done. The grips are not critical until another step requires them. Heat treat would be a critical step, as other things cannot happen till it is done.
If Egg has the time, since he seems to have the expertise, you should chat with him about CPM for a knife. If you can list the steps sequentially, identify critical steps, and estimate time for each, he can build the chart. I think you would find it fascinating and probably helpful as well.
