Deutsch Begriff oder Satz:auf einer Anlage produzieren
This is a rarely occurring phrase in my experience and I would be interested in how to render it in EN:
Die Kenntnis der auf einer Anglage produzierten Stufenprodukte und ihrer Eigenschaften is von entscheidender Wichtigkeit..." In the EN titles of SOPs "Anlage" is rendered by "plant" and in another section, the formulation "...in den Anlagen produziert..." appears. Is there a subtle difference that I am missing?
Erklärung: An Anlage is a machine or a whole production line of machines or a whole factory full of such production lines; it can be a group of components that make up a (stereo) system.
It is one of those words like Mark Twain's "Zug" and "Schlag" in "The Awful German Language".
produced/manufactured/completed
Because they allude to phases of the overall production process, your case could be an individual machine (which might handle multiple tooling steps) or one of several production lines that the product passes through. You might know more about the facility (another word for Anlage).

it depends on the size of the "Anlage" in question
Erklärung: An "Anlage" in German can be anything from the size of my "Telefonanlage" at home (one base station, two handsets) to an entire production line in an automotive plant.
In the sentence you quote, I would tend to go for "equipment" or something along those lines.
