Step 2. Isolate Regions: PRT Planning

Using your diagram, draw rectangles around logical areas along the production route to identify your tracking regions.

Regions must:

• Be contiguous.
• Cover every physical part of the production process.
• Not have any physical gaps to prevent lost or misrepresented data by the tracking model.
• Have a data collection device or operator interface at its boundaries to inform the tracking model when a product or carrier passes.

1	One of 13 regions.
2	Each region is bounded by a devices as noted on the diagram.
3	There are no physical gaps between regions.
4	Even the detainment (Scrap) region is marked as a region.
