English term or phrase: to backfill
In einem Protokoll einer Vorstandssitzung eines Radlagerherstellers geht es um die Marktlage und die an die Lieferkette ausgelagerten Kapazitäten. Dabei bin ich mir etwas unsicher, was im Anstrich mit "backfill" gemeint ist.

Market
•Two thirds of machining hours are carried out outside of XYZ in the Supply Chain and therefore we know we can ***backfill***.
•Some of our parts are in our suppliers and so we know we have enough complex machining to bring back in house.

Geht es hier einfach darum, dass bestimmte Fertigungsprozesse wieder intern durchgeführt werden? Danke für Eure Hilfe!
