Define Targets

Step 3c - Identify Targets

Identify the unsecured food TARGETS in your facility. TARGETS are raw materials, work in process, and finished goods that are not secured in tamper evident containers, allowing the potential for a THREAT to ACCESS and tamper with the TARGETÔ without being noticed or leaving evidence. As you walk through the facility with the TRAP-ITÔ PLANNER be alert to recognize all TARGETS. Map the TARGETS on your facility diagrams using the TRAP-ITÔ PLANNER’S drag and drop mapping tool. Define each TARGET by completing the prompts activated by your mapping process.

Examples of TARGETS are:

Opened, uncovered or accessible, bins, bags, buckets, barrels, totes or tanks that contain unsecured food ingredients or products.
Opened or uncovered process equipment such as vessels, kettles, piping, tanks, silos, or conveyors with unsecured access ports or man-ways.

It is important that you identify all of the unsecured food TARGETS in your facility. During the TARGET identification process, you will likely observe a large number of unsecured ingredient containers in the production areas or other multiple TARGET areas. When you enter the TARGET identification data in Step 3c, you are given the option to create a TARGET symbol that represents “one” or “many” individual TARGETS. If you select a TARGET symbol that represents “many” similar TARGETS, make sure you enter enough detail in the “description” box to document your thought process and identify potential security issues related to the multiple TARGET scenario.

TARGETS can be IMMOVABLE or MOVABLE.
IMMOVABLE TARGETS are affixed procedurally or physically to a geographic location (i.e. food contained in large process equipment, storage containers, and dedicated food processing tools). Place them on the facility diagram where they are located.

MOVEABLE TARGETS are targets that are commonly moved about and are not contained within a specific perimeter. Typically these are smaller food container units such as buckets, bags, bins, barrels, totes etc. Place them in the movable TARGET box for additional consideration when you develop your security strategy.

When am I done with this step?

This section is complete when you have located all the unsecured food TARGETS on your facility diagram(s).

Creating Targets

Selecting 'Identify Targets' displays a screen containing tools for defining moveable and immoveable targets, and entering the information that describes them.


	Click the down arrow to select a diagram to work with.
	Checking and unchecking this option will show and hide the background image. Hiding the image does not destroy it, and simply checking the box again will once again show the image.
	Grid lines assist in lining up objects. Checking and unchecking this option will show and hide the gridlines.
	To zoom in or out on the drawing, click on the associated zoom button. Each additional click will zoom the drawing again until the maximum or minimum zoom level has been reached.
	To add an immoveable target to the diagram, drag the red rectangle to the place on the diagram where it should be located, and release it.
	Moveable targets are dragged into this box. When a moveable or immoveable target is created, a screen to supply information about the target is presented. A complete description is found in the 'Edit Target' section below.
	When a target is selected, its corresponding information is displayed. Select Edit to enter the defining information for the currently selected target, or Delete to discard the target.
	When multiple targets have been created, and then some of them are deleted, there will be gaps in the numbering of the targets. Clicking Renumber Targets, will renumber them into a sequential order. The numbering starts on the first diagram and proceeds through each diagram in turn, giving each target a unique number.

Edit Target Every target has a collection of required and optional information that can be entered or edited by selecting the target and clicking the Edit button.

	The text displayed at the top of the panel indicates the ID number of the selected target.
	All targets require a name. Providing a meaningful name will make it easier to identify the target later.
	Click the down arrow to see the list of types that can be associated with a target, and select the one that most accurately describes the target.
	Indicate whether the selected target represents one target or a collection of targets.
	Click the appropriate radio button to indicate whether the target is immoveable or moveable. If a target is changed to moveable, the target icon will be moved to the moveable box. If a target is changed to immoveable, the target icon will be moved to the diagram.
	A description can optionally be entered to further document important details about the target. Use the edit menu to paste a description from another text document.
	The Save button stores any information that has been entered for the target.
	To abandon editing the target, without saving any changes that have been made, click the Cancel button.
	The photograph panel displays up to three photographs that can be associated with a target.
	Clicking the Import button opens a window that allows existing photographs to be associated with an target.
	If the optional camera is attached to your system, clicking the Use Camera button allows you to take and attach up to three pictures to your target.

	Clicking a photograph will zoom it out to a larger size. Clicking the Remove button deletes the association of the photograph to the target. The Close button puts the zoom window away.
