Tech/Engineering - Management
German term or phrase: Regelkreis
Context:

"- durch Einhaltung des Regelkreises (Planen, Durchführen, Beurteilen und Optimieren) die vor materiellen und immateriellen Schäden bewahrt werden"

'Control loop' doesn't seem to make much sense here (cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/592037 etc.).

Notes to answerer
Asker: But how does that sit with the second part of the sentence? "By adhering to/applying the control loop that is protected against material and immaterial damage..." doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense.

Asker: Especially not with the plural "bewahrt werden".
