German term

Massnahme Entdeckung (derzeitiger Zustand)

German to English Bus/Financial Management Failure mode and effects analysis
Hi all,

I am translating project management documentation of a company supplying components for a single use injection device.
A list in a FMEA table has the following columns:
Prozess- / Subprozessschritt | Fehlfuntion | Fehlerfolge | Fehlerursache | Massnahme Verütung (derzeitiger Zustand) | *** Massnahme Entdeckung (derzeitiger Zustand) ***

I have used "current controls " for "Massnahme Verütung (derzeitiger Zustand)" but I am still loooking for the a suitable translation for "Massnahme Entdeckung (derzeitiger Zustand)".
Current detection measures?

Thank you

Horst Huber (X) Dec 20, 2011:
I'd agree, "Verhütung" would be "prevention", and "Entdeckung" something like "discovery" (may be too legal).
Peter Zauner (asker) Dec 20, 2011:
Brigitte, you are right, it should have read "Verhütung". I apologise for the typo.
BrigitteHilgner Dec 20, 2011:
I guess ... it should read "VerHütung" = prevention? Depending on the context, I might opt for "preventive measures" and "detection measures" - "process" is an alternative to measures.

current (failure) detection methods / measures

Failure detection methods
For each component and failure mode, the ability of the system to detect and report the failure in question is analyzed. One of the following will be entered on each row of the FMECA matrix:
Normal: the system correctly indicates a safe condition to the crew
Abnormal: the system correctly indicates a malfunction requiring crew action
Incorrect: the system erroneously indicates a safe condition in the event of malfunction, or alerts the crew to a malfunction that does not exist (false alarm)

Detection measures are the means or methods by which a failure mode can be discovered under normal operating conditions.
