German term

Entwicklungsfertigung

German to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
What, pray tell, is Entwicklungsfertigung?

I hope someone has a brainstorm...

XX, Teamsprecher Entwicklungsfertigung, kennt die Arbeit zur Nachtstunde. Er fertigt mit seinen Teamkollegen neben Neuentwicklungen auch Einzelstücke und Ersatzteile...

None of this gives me a clue of what to call it.

Thanks for the response. Make sure it gets into the glossaries. So much gets lost when the response is dropped on the floor.

Well, here's the answer, straight from the horse's mouth: Entwicklungsfertigung = experimental manufacture (die Prototypenfertigung ist noch mal was anderes)

developments manufacture

Might work - these would be the gizmos (and there could be several of them, each slightly different to the previous one) that are made until someone decides that they have finally got themselves a prototype, at which point thoughts turn towards producing the thing en masse.

product production/manufacturing

I'd say. Rather a guess, but if you consider "Neuentwicklungen" in the sense of the result of the development process ...
