French term or phrase: logique de rupture
a list of various areas that have been improved in the telecom/IS department of a major French auto maker. I'm afraid it's pretty cryptic. I'll be checking with my client to see what MFP stands for, but would like to know what 'logique de rupture' is in a printing/production sense.

MFP could refer to a multifunctional machine such as this:

I don't think "logique de rupture" has any specific meaning in the printing world. Pretty hard to know what it means here if you're not sure about MFP. But I have my thinking cap on :-)

maybe they did a move from centralized to local printing - maybe they now outsource this function - whatever they do now itis a \"U-turn\" an organizational upheaval
