Bus/Financial - Management
German term or phrase: abstellen
Wie bereits beim letzten Besuch in unserem Hause besprochen, haben wir momentan Kapazitäten frei, um die "Heißen Seiten" und Verteiler komplett in unserem Hause für die Fa. XXX zu fertigen.
Wir können nicht zwei, oder sogar drei Designer abstellen und dann die Wertschöpfung zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt außer Haus geben.
Es macht wenig Sinn, unsere Maschinen leer laufen zu lassen, unsere Mitarbeiter nach Hause zu schicken und Du vergibst Aufträge an Zulieferanten.

Thanks, Silvia and Edith. I actually think both answers are equally good and in the end I wrote "we cannot put two, or even three designers working on this assignment ..." which in a way is a combination of both answers. However, unfortunately, I can't split the points and so I'm bowing to democracy and giving the points to Silvia because she got the 3 "agrees". Thanks to both of you however.
