peer agreement (net): +3| Instandsetzung und dem Verschleissschutz repair and (preventive) maintenance Explanation: Or the reverse, "preventive maintenance and repair." I don't see "wear protection" as a job function or a department; the phrase in English is more likely to describe a feature of a lubricant or material. I like to use "repair" for "Instandsetzung" and "maintenance" for "Instandhaltung" whenever both terms are used in the same document. For "Verschleissschutz," I would also use "maintenance" or "preventive maintenance," which describes the same concept. |
