Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / Customer satisfaction survey
Portuguese term or phrase: antecedência aos erros
Hi,

I hope somebody can help me.

I am translating a customer satisfaction survey for a human nutrition company.

The question asked was:

"What should [company name] improve to make you even more satisfied?"

The full answer was:

"Principais pontos de melhoria:
- Flexibilidade
- Antecedência aos erros
- Ter planos de back up e agir de forma proativa"

I can't quite work out what "Antecedência aos erros" means here, is it something like "plan for errors"?

This is from Brazil and is to be translated into UK English.

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Kerryann

error anticipation


Explanation:
I think the most usual way of saying that would be "prevenção de erros" (error prevention), but what he actually said was "error anticipation", IMO.
