German term

Werkzeugumfang

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Hi guys,

This sentence is giving me a headache, especially the term "Werkzeugumfang":

"Der Bedarf des Werkzeugumfang wird über das SAP-System an die Arbeitsvorbereitung übermittelt in welcher die jeweiligen Arbeitspläne erstellt werden und somit dann in der Fertigung begonnen wird."

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Gavin
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 required tools / required equipment
4 toolset
4 tool size
2 +2 required tools
3 tool requirements

Chris Pr Jan 16, 2020:
Then I guess only Gavin can decide if he's content with having his original question arbitrarily reformulated.
Steffen Walter Jan 16, 2020:
Sure it does This is just a less convoluted way of expressing the same.
Chris Pr Jan 16, 2020:
Except that "die benötigten/erforderlichen Werkzeuge" [a reformulation of the Asker's original question and for which "agrees" have already been registered] doesn't speak at all of the *scope* of tools that Herbie correctly identified from the outset....
Steffen Walter Jan 16, 2020:
Agree with Herbie "Der erforderliche Werkzeugumfang" or "die benötigten/erforderlichen Werkzeuge" would have been much clearer.
Chris Pr Jan 16, 2020:
Agree with Herbie -> the scope or range of tools required.

On another note:
"Gotcha by a few seconds, though."

Actually, "gotcha too" on the below thread, but by a full 1hr 52mins.
So why the polar opposite observation on this thread here? ;)

Dodgy German Better: Der Bedarf an Werkzeugen, i.e. The scope of tools needed, or similar.

required tools / required equipment

I believe in this case it's not the size or the circumference that is referred to but the actual tools needed for a particular process step.

required tools

Mentioning 'Arbeitspläne' in the source text brings to mind several varying projects, requiring varying tools. Hence, tools required or required tools
