Process Route Maps

The developed process is conveyed through Process Route Maps (PRMs) (Figure 2.2). The PRM defines the fundamental tasks and interfaces of the process. Where further decomposition of a process activity is required, detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and information to support these SOPs are developed.

The size of your worksite and workforce, processes used, materials handled, and the availability of onsite or outside resources will determine your training requirements. Discuss any special hazards your site(s) may have, such as flammable materials, toxic chemicals, radioactive sources, or water-reactive substances. To minimize confusion, clearly communicate who will be in charge dining an emergency and provide any evacuation route maps you have prepared. 

With the s)mthesis route, the process of mapping into particular integrated circuit technologies is automated. The synthesis process flierefore both increases productivity (through automation) and reduces flexibility (by restricting Ae choice of technology). 

If you were planning a road trip across the US, you would need a map of the highways. It would allow you to see all routes from your starting city to your goal city. You would then choose the best route for what you wanted to see and the time you had for the trip. This is exactly the process you want to go through for understanding organic chemistry. We need a map and the ability to choose the best route. Our maps of problems are called problem spaces and are often shown as trees, with a decision to be made at each branch point.
