English term or phrase: what needs to be implemented
What needs to be implemented to deliver excellence in the total supply process for the core business, e.g. resource plans, best in class processes, support systems?

ça fait partie d'une série de points, et je n'aime pas ma formulation - en plus, chaque point, commence de la même façon :
what needs...
what business...
ce genre de choses va bien en anglais, mais en français, ça donne quelque chose comme ça :
Qu’est-ce qui doit être exécuté pour livrer l’excellence dans la chaîne logistique totale pour la base de l’entreprise, soit la planification des ressources, être meilleur dans sa catégorie, et pour les systèmes de soutien?

commence à être un peu fatiguée ce soir ;-)

des suggestions? pas de derby de démolition svp ;-)

Condition de mise en oeuvre


Explanation:
Impératifs pour la mise en oeuvre/place:

pour éviter le "qu'est-ce que"

ou "Pour ...., il convient de ..."

La mise en oeuvre implique blabla

"pour livrer l’excellence" je dirais "pour tendre à la perfection"

enfin, quelques idées pour renverser tes phrases

what needs to be implemented... (phrase)
Que faut-il pour...?


Explanation:
The expression "needs to be implemented" is very heavy and clumsy and adds little or nothing. It is typical of the sort of overcharged language produced by these management-consultant drongoes who are in love with thier own voice. "What needs to be done" would have been better, or "What should we do", or "What does it take",.... There are many possibilities, very few of them as bad as "What needs to be implemented".

If you are in love with "imlemented", there's always "Que faut-il mettre en oeuvre pour ...?"

Or "Que faut-i faire pour ...?" Why not?

what needs to be implemented... (phrase)
Critère d'application


Explanation:
C'est ce que mes clients utilisent pour leur présentation et dans leurs publications. Consultez Google où les exemples contextuels abondent beaucoup plus que "critère de mise en oeuvre" qui serait une option.

disagree  Richard Benham: It's not about criteria, it's about what you have to do.//Your distinction is rubbish: clearly "what's to be done" and "what you have to do" are synonymous (you=one). Your totally unrefined answer has next to no relation to the sense of the original.
6 hrs
  -> It's about WHAT has to be done, not YOU... The answer is correct even if you misunderstood the refined French wording.// I don't answer to personal insults even though you can get away with breaking the KudoZ rules...
