Contróle qualité
Bonjour,
Je traduis un document assez urgent ayant trait au contrôle qualité dans le domaine de l'aéronautique.
XXX est le nom d'une entreprise.
Comment comprenez-vous « clear gates » dans présent contexte ?
Je doute qu'il y ait un jeu de mot sur "gates".
Serait-il question de points de repère ou quelque chose comme cela ?
"The objective of this document is to detail the process steps required to manage transfer of work within a XXX supply chain or between XXX Sites globally
The process shall
Have a ***clear gates*** where decisions are made on the transfer
Review Risk management"
Merci beaucoup.

points de décisions précis
On parle de la prise de décision(s) nécessaire à la fin de chaque phase d'un processus décisionnel. Une décision est nécessaire pour déterminer la suite du processus.
Ici il semble que la requête soit que les points de décisions soient suffisamment bien définis pour qu'une décision puisse être prise.

but could almo mean "to clear" ie have the decision points approved, like in these documents:
http://www.adlittle.com/uploads/tx_extprism/Prism_2006_s2_2_...
the metaphor could be from aviation industry, "to clear gates" means in aircraft to control jargon to depart from the terminal, so this could also mean "authorization to start":

That could be a "policy" perhaps.
I will also ask the question to the client and keep you informed as soon as possible.
"Have a clear gates where decisions are made on the transfer"
Normally, 'have' like this woulnd't be followed by 'a' + a plural — so is the 'a' an error... or is there a word missing, like 'policy' for example.
I think it's quite important to try and identify where the error is, in order to make proper sense out of it, as there are several ways it might be interpreted as it stands.
