German term

Leistungen

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Lastenheft
[CONTEXT]
Dieses Lastenheft ist Grundlage des zu erbringenden Leistungsumfanges des Auftragnehmers. Es legt unter anderem Werte für Funktionen, ***Leistungen***, Lebensdauer und weitere Mindestanforderungen fest.

I have checked the Kudoz archive back and forward and the more I look the more I am confused.

For 'Leistungsumfang' I would say 'scope of supply' and according to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lastenheft 'Leistungen' would be 'features'.

Das Lastenheft (teils auch Anforderungsspezifikation, Anforderungskatalog, Kundenspezifikation oder Requirements Specification) beschreibt die Gesamtheit der Forderungen des Auftraggebers an die Lieferungen und Leistungen eines Auftragnehmers ....

.... So wird auch die Reihenfolge der beiden Dokumente im Entwicklungsprozess deutlich: Die Anforderungen (requirements) werden durch Leistungen (features) erfüllt.

I am really not sure whether I can use 'features', especially since 'features' has already been used by my client for 'Funktionen'.

I would appreciate if somebody can show me the way out of this dilemma.

TIA

Norbert

Thank you all - and sorry for not grading it on time.
Norbert Hermann (asker) Jul 25, 2010:
@Herbie your first solution makes all the sense; all three (Funktionen, Leistungen, Lebensdauer) fall under 'performance data'. You should post this.

The second solution for 'Lieferungen und Leistungen' is not relevant in my case; this has been taken from the Wikipedia entry.
Herbie Jul 25, 2010:
2 Lösungen sind hier wegen der unterschiedlichen Bedeutung gefragt:
Bei "Funktionen, Leistungen, Lebensdauer" bietet sich zB "performance data" an, "Lieferungen und Leistungen sind dagegen eindeutig "supplies and services".
Norbert Hermann (asker) Jul 24, 2010:
components we are talking here of components / parts for an OEM customer.

performance

Lastenheft – performance specifications
Leistungsumfang – scope of performance

These performance specifications form the basis of the scope of performance to be provided by the contractor. Among other things, it establishes the functions, performance, service life and other minimum requirements (of the components).
