Trim the fat and the redundancy


Explanation:
Mi opinión muy particular es que esta frase parece una mala traducción al español de un original peor escrito en inglés.

Yo eliminaría uno de los "globales", uno de los "análisis", y una de las "evaluaciones", por que opino que con uno de cada uno es más que suficiente.

"This level of analysis begins with the evaluation of global and regional objectives regarding the operations and plants network strategy."

Disagrees and neutrals quite welcome. I refuse to translate such an atrocious phrase word by word.

  -> much appreciated, Michele.
neutral  John Hughson (J.D., M.B.A. Finance): I think you might be right, but we don't know if this analysis sets a contrast: this one related to objectives supported by the system, as opposed to a later analysis of objectives not *yet* supported in the system. Who knows what was lost in 1st trans?

  -> "un nivel de análisis que envuelve el análisis"..I am 100% sure is a translation, and a bad one.

Oh, and yes, I am definitely assuming a meaning that is perhaps an unintended -- or sloppy -- \"over-nuancing\" of the original English (if indeed this text was not originally written in Spanish).

Thanks George! I like your version, but then there is that uncertainty about the original meaning, isn\'t there?
