German term

anonyme (in context)

German to English Bus/Financial Engineering (general)
Wir haben am Standort ***** eine neue Fertigungskonzeption umgesetzt. Wir führen dabei eine *anonyme* Demontage von Motoren und Aufarbeitung von Motorteilen in einen Lagervorrat durch. Der Kundenauftrag beginnt dann im Teilelager und beinhaltet nur noch Montage und Prüflauf.
Dadurch reduzieren wir die Durchlaufzeit von drei Wochen auf drei Tage, erzielen also mit der neuen Konzeption deutlich kürzere Lieferzeiten bei höherer Flexibilität und weiter verbesserter Qualität.

anonymous

It means that it is not done on the customer's premises (by a real mechanic with a real face), but in the factory by somebody that the customer does not know and will never meet, a person who could be hiding in the woodwork for all the customer knows.
It is not normal in German either (no hits for "anonyme Demontage"), so you can give it a literal translation and never mind how strange it sounds.
Peer comment(s):

agree Derek Gill Franßen : Yes, "anonymous disassembly" like "anonymous assembly". To be honest, I have a little trouble understanding how an "anonymous DISassembly" can save time - I would've thought it would take longer to bring them there; I can understand "anonymous assembly".
