Unsere Produktion laeuft sowohl an sechs als auch an sieben Tagen die Woche

Non-PRO German to English Other Manufacturing grammar/construction query
Hi all, Happy New Year!

"Unsere Produktion laeuft sowohl an sechs als auch an sieben Tagen die Woche"

Does this mean "we don't just work 6 days a week, we work 7" (basically we work 7 days a week) - or am I missing something? It just seemed like a complicated way of phrasing something quite straightforward...

Thanks a lot!

persönliche Interpretiation

Hm, hatte eben schon mal geantwortet, aber Cyberspace hat meinen Beitrag wohl verschluckt. Also nochmal:

Ich denke, dass dieser Satz unterschiedlich interpretiert werden kann. Vielleicht soll tatsächlich betont werden, dass an 7 Tagen die Woche produziert wird.
Vielleicht gibt es aber auch einige Ausnahmewochen, an denen an einem Tag nicht produziert wird (an bestimmten Feiertagen z.B. ?).

Darum würde ich in jedem Fall Kontakt zum Kunden aufnehmen, um falsche Interpretationen zu vermeiden.

(mal sehen, ob das jetzt ankommt ...;-))

Our production runs both at six and on seven days the week

This means shift-work. Sometimes they work 6 days per week while in the upcoming week they work 24/7.

I meant a flexible production line Davies. This is in response to your mail. I had deleted it by mistake.
