Normal Region: Defined

A normal region is a basic region through which an item or group of items flow.

For example if there are two assembly lines in a row, which are named Line 1 and Line 2, and employees are working on one item at a time in both lines, this would be configured as a normal region.

The primary region type for Line 1 and Line 2 could also be sequential region because each item must progress in the order in which it entered the region.

Example

1

Operator interface

2

Items are tracked through the plant.

 

Each item occupies one region location.
