    "production plant" vs. "production facility" / "Produktionswerk", "-stätte", "-anlage", "-einrichtung"

    "production plant" vs. "production facility" / "Produktionswerk", "-stätte", "-anlage", "-einrichtung"

    Comment
    What are the differences between a "production plant" and a "production facility" in English and "Produktionsstätte", "-werk", "-anlage", "-einrichtung" in German?


    the "free dictionary" (www.thefreedictionary.com) says
    a "plant" is
    a. A building or group of buildings for the manufacture of a product; a factory.
    b. The equipment, including machinery, tools, instruments, and fixtures and the buildings containing them, necessary for an industrial or manufacturing operation.

    and a "facility" is
    "a building or place that provides a particular service or is used for a particular industry; "the assembly plant is an enormous facility"; "the assembly plant is an enormous facility"

    --> Does that mean "production plant" can refer both to a complex of buildings AND machinery/ equipment but a "production facility" can only refer to a complex of buildings and NOT to the machinery/ equipment?


    And what are the differences between "Produktionsstätte", "-werk", "-anlage",
    "-einrichtung" in German? Can "-anlage" and "-einrichtung" refer both to the machinery/ equipment AND to the complex of buildings?



    Does anyone know?

    A production plant is a complete Produktionsanlage.
    Production facilities comprise Produktionseinrichtungen for various production processes.

    Thanks.

    What about the terms "Produktionsstätte", "-anlage", "-einrichtung". I just can't tell them apart without the necessary context. Are they synonyms or is there a difference?
