German term or phrase: Anlaufkurve
proofreading a document where this is translated as "starting curve," but the translator wasn't sure and highlighted it. I'm not sure either!
From a job description and assessment of par/sub-par performance:

Produktionsvorbereitung/ -unterstützung
Maßnahmen im Rahmen des Produktwechsels auf einer Anlage, auch Organisation externer Reinigungsfirmen, Koordinierung eigener Mitarbeiter, Aktivierung bei zeitkritischen Vorgängen.

Umbaupläne liegen als "Lose-Blatt-Sammlung" vor. Kurzfristige Disposition von Materialien und Personal. Empirische Anlaufkurve

Umbaupläne werden nach jeder Produktion aktualisiert. Langfristige Planung sichert Anwesenheit von Material und Experten. Prozesssichere Anlaufkurve
