French term or phrase: organisations
This is for a questionnaire on qualilty procedures.

I know that the word normally translates as organisations (eg company, public body whatever) but could it also mean 'organisation' / 'organisational methods'

The sentence is 'Vos organisations prévoient-elles la possibilité...' and the surrounding text suggests this second meaning.

NB Some of the text is concise/shorthand.
