cadrage

English translation: structural framework

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:cadrage

French term or phrase: cadrage
Propositions des Achats versus le cadrage :

Le cadrage permet de limiter les risques de conflit entre les Achats Produits
contrôlés (PPP et MDD) et les Achats Marques Nationales.

Il est, donc, important de le faire respecter sous peine de modifications en
cascade pouvant engendrer une perte de cohérence globale.

Pour cela, il est nécessaire d’expliquer aux Achats, lors d’ une réunion de
présentation du Plan de Vente N+1 (en septembre de l’année N), les
objectifs visés, afin de les faire adhérer à celui-ci.

I assume it has to do with all the departments working together to stay on the same page but I'm not sure how to translate it. I found "guidelines" in the dictionary. Any suggestions? Karen

Coordination, synchronization?


Explanation:
These are two ideas I and another translator came up with. What do you think? The text is talking about different departments working together on a project and trying to stay on the same page. Karen

framework


Explanation:
I still think framework is best. Le cadrage is an entity the departments are being urged to adhere to. It is not an ongoing process which is what synchronization and coordination imply.
