Manufacturing
French term or phrase: appel
From a text by a logistics company explaining synchronous flows as applied to automobile assembly...

Les temps de réquisition, c'est-à-dire le délai entre l'appel et le montage effectif de la pièce, sont souvent de moins d'une heure.

Thanks for any insight here!

requisition
Explanation:
Depends on the context, but it sounds like a just-in-time manufacturing system, where a requisition for the part is issued by the assembly point to the upstream department, and they are talking about the time delay between issuing the requisition and mounting the part on the assembly.
