Bus/Financial - Management
German term or phrase: Sicherstellung
I'm not sure about the meaning of "Sicherstellung" in the following sentence:

"Die Kontrolle und Sicherstellung eines standardisierten Warmbehandlungsprozesses sichern einen weltweiten Qualitätsmaßstab."

Any ideas?

implementation
Explanation:
The author appears redundant in two regards: security and standardization. I would not feel obligated to carry his redundancy into the target language, and thus propose the following:

"The control and implementation of standardized ... processes insure quality world-wide."

neutral  Roddy Stegemann: Are these terms not use interchangeably? Would this not simply increase the level of redundancy?

  -> Depends on how close one wants to stick to the original. Plus, redundancy sometimes amplifies, which might be intended by the author.
