German term or phrase: Produktdispositionsprozeß
title of a chapter in a quality manual, preceded by Produktanforderungsprozeß and Produktentstehungsprozeß
Rachel
product sale(s) process
Explanation:
or product distribution process

*This* seems to be the logical sequence: Produktanforderung - definition of requirements, design stage; Produktentstehung - production/manufacturing as such, involving a sequence of procedures/processes; and Produktdisposition - product sales in my opinion

According to my experience, the German term "Disposition" is often used in conjunction with sales/logistics/distribution, hence my suspicion. Could this possibly fit into the logic of your source text?

correction: When looking at it again, I think \"Produktanforderung\" means product demand or order so that products are built/manufactured to order/on demand

... since requirements would be \"Produktanforderungen\" oder \"-spezifikationen\" in German (mind the plural!)
