Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing | | French term or phrase: cadencement | 'Nous effectuons ainsi un contrôle qualité, pour chaque cadencement, sur le site de production.'
I often have trouble translating this word, but in this context, it seems to be poorly used. Are they perhaps using it to mean 'batch' in this context?
This is a company that helps companies outsource their manufacturing to China. They audit the potential suppliers, launch a call for tenders, etc. I wonder whether they would be so thorough as to perform a quality check on every batch??! If not, what could this mean? |

| | scheduled delivery/shipment | Explanation:
This is what it usually means in my experience. Usually the customer would set up a desired schedule of shipment (say over several months) and each shipment would be the 'cadencement'. The idea is a regular, planned schedule. There is nothing unusual about having quality control on each batch/shipment/delivery. It's quite necessary actually when outsourcing to China... |
