Tootmisprotsessidel

Tootmisprotsessidel is the adessive plural form of the Estonian noun tootmisprotsess (production process). It denotes location or context, roughly translating to “in the production processes” in English. The form is commonly used in technical and industrial texts to talk about events, conditions, or activities that occur within multiple production processes.

Morphology and usage: In Estonian, the adessive plural is used to indicate location in relation to more than one process. The singular form would be tootmisprotsessil (in the production process), while tootmisprotsessidel refers to several processes. This form appears in discussions about manufacturing operations, process management, quality control, and continuous improvement.

Examples:

- Tootmisprotsessidel tekkivad viivitused võivad suurendada kulusid. (Delays that occur in the production processes may increase costs.)

- Ettevõte analüüsib tootmisprotsessidel kogutud andmeid. (The company analyzes data collected in the production processes.)

Context: The term is primarily used in industrial engineering, operations management, and compliance reporting. It emphasizes the collective scope of processes across a production environment rather than a single process. While the concept is straightforward, correct use depends on distinguishing between singular and plural adessive forms, as well as choosing appropriate related cases in Estonian grammar.
