Re: DE>EN Kampagnenverwiegung

[Guest guest]

Hi Margaret,

to me it would mean " a change in emphasis/focus " in the campaign/procedural

framework following the sense of your context. But " verwiegen " means " weighing " ,

so perhaps also " as a result of the procedural

analysis ... "

'Campaign' in the pharmaceutical or agrochemical industry (possibly

other manufacturing as well) generally refers to a wave of coordinated

activity to accomplish the production of some material, or in your case to

accomplish a technical verification. For example, the " aspirin campaign for

3Q2003 " would describe all the activity directed to making a batch of

aspirin for 3rd quarter 2003, obtaining the raw materials (raws), scheduling

the reactors and the people to operate them, then running the stages of the

process, followed by the purification steps, formulation, finishing, etc.,

until the whole operation is complete and the product is " in hand " .

It probably comes from a military context, or the agricultural one

mentioned in other posts.

In your case, I believe it means that they will methodically move

through all operating units with some standardized testing to make sure that

the SOPs are appropriately implemented.

I would use simply 'weighing campaign' for 'Kampagnenverwiegung'.

Hallo Margaret and Astrid

Astrid's reply made me curious - so I looked up " Kampagne " in the Duden

Deutsches Universalwoerterbuch. Among the usual meaning (e.g., political

campaign), I found this:

2. " Zeit, in der in einem von der Saison abhaengenden Unternehmen, in einem

landwirtschaftlichen Betrieb die meiste Arbeit anfaellt: sie haben waehrend

der Kampagne in der Zuckerfabrik gearbeitet " (...und da kann ich mich

ploetzlich wieder an diesen Ausdruck erinnern, denn ich habe meine fruehe

Kindheit nach dem Krieg auf einem Hofgut verbracht, wo die

Zuckerruebenernte eine grosse Rolle spielte).

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to solve Margaret's problem, does it?

Hi ,

in my opinion your suggestion would not work ... what you are advocating would

be Verwiegungskampagne.

Then, perhaps a 'campaign weighing'.

I should have provided both English noun-cluster options, especially

this second one which more closely parallels the German noun concatenation.

Thanks for keeping me honest, Dee!
