driftsrelaterade

Driftsrelaterade is a Swedish adjective used to describe something that pertains to drift, meaning the ongoing operation, management, or running of equipment, facilities, services, or processes. In practice the term is used to distinguish daily operation and maintenance activities from development or capital projects.

In business and finance, driftsrelaterade often refer to operating costs and activities: driftsrelaterade kostnader, such as salaries for operators, energy consumption, routine maintenance, spare parts, and service contracts. The term helps separate cost categories from kapitalrelaterade eller investeringar. The concept is common in financial reporting, budgeting, and risk assessment to highlight operational considerations.

Applications across sectors include manufacturing, where driftsrelaterade underhållsaktiviteter cover routine maintenance; information technology, where driftsrelaterade incidenter or outages affect service levels; energy and utilities, with driftsrelaterade underhållsprogram describing day-to-day upkeep; and offentlig sektor, where driftsrelaterad verksamhet relates to service delivery. The term may be used together with other modifiers, such as driftsrelaterade kostnader, driftsrelaterade risker, or driftsrelaterade avbrott.

Notes: The phrase is context-dependent and not a strict technical term; it is commonly used in Swedish corporate language to indicate relation to routine operation, not to development work. When translating, it is often rendered as operational or operations-related.
