German term or phrase: Dienstkette

Term as used in this document: tinyurl.com/yck6kmb.

Example context:
====
Erste Angaben in Flugunfallanalysen, in der als potentieller Faktor Übermüdung als Unfallursache herangezogen wurde, finden sich im Jahre 1993 (Caldwell, L. & Caldwell, J., 2003; NTSB, 1999). Am 29. April 1993 verunglückte eine Embraer EMB-120RT der Continental Airlines in Pine Bluff (Arkansas). Geplant war der Flug von Little Rock (Arkansas) nach Houston (Texas). Aufgrund einer harten Landung schossen sie über die Landebahn hinaus. Eine Flugbegleiterin und 12 Passagiere wurden dabei verletzt. Der Unfall ereignete sich am dritten Tag einer
Dreitagesdienstkette und im siebten und letzten Leg des Flugdiensttages.
Die Analyse zeigte eine kumulative Übermüdung aufgrund des Einsatzprofils der Cockpitbesatzung mit vorangegangenen langen Flugdienstzeiten und anschließend verkürzten Ruhezeiten.

I found a definition of "duty period" at http://www.risingup.com/fars/info/part91-1057-FAR.shtml, but not 100% sure this is the same thing.
====
Duty period means the period of elapsed time between reporting for an assignment involving flight time and release from that assignment by the program manager. All time between these two points is part of the duty period, even if flight time is interrupted by nonflight-related duties.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Stephen

Die Analysen können das Aufspüren von Anomalien, die Detektion von Bottlenecks, die Ermittlung der Systemperformance oder auch die Session-Verfolgung über alle Komponenten einer Dienstkette beinhalten.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your input. I can't really see how this fits the context unfortunately. The text refers to "... dritten Tag einer Dreitagesdienstkette", so "service chain" doesn't really seem to work.

36 mins confidence:

operations period

Explanation:
It seems to be describing a three-day period in which the plane was constantly in use, presumably between maintenance checks, I would go for something like this. There may be a more specific term though.
