two different materials - from different divisions


Explanation:
Is the source referring to problems with incompatible parts or materials coming from the same factory?

When a company has several divisions that produce similar parts they may use the same terminology or specifications, and a problem arises when these parts or materials are thought to be identical, but are in fact different in such a way that renders them incompatible or non-interchangeable.
This can lead to all kinds of logistical problems which can only be resolved by assigning new control numbers.

It also appears that "division de deux divisions différents" is poorly worded. Perhaps they meant something like "à partir de deux divisions différentes".
