This term comes up under the header "Management 'No's'" in a presentation about the implementation of Lean Manufacturing. The term "Catalog engineering" itself is the heading for this sentence: "Get your hands dirty on the shop floor!".
Other headings are: “Brainstorming” (You can’t solve the problem on a flip chart. Go to the shop floor, experience the real problems and trystorm your solutions.) or "Desktop data collection" (Go to the shop floor. Watch the work. Watch the equipment. Collect your own data.).
I found "catalog engineering" defined as the process of making a catalog (which wouldn't make much sense in this content). Another definition seems to be kind of a standard method of engineering.
Any idea what this could be in German? Maybe something like "0-8-15-Techniken/-Konstruktionen"?
Thanks in advance!

Katalogerstellung / Katalogisierung (vom Schreibtisch aus)
Vielleicht war meine Nachfrage (s.o.) nicht gleich verständlich. Mir geht es ähnlich, was das Verständnis deiner Frage betrifft: Was genau erscheint unklar an diesem Punkt in der Auflistung von Management-Fehlern? Denn darum handelt es sich ja jeweils: Der [Manager] soll sich nicht in Theorien über die zu vollbringenden Arbeitsleistungen ergehen, sondern sich ein Bild von der Lage vor Ort machen (shop floor - Produktionsstätte/Fabrikhalle/etc.). Die richtige Auffassung dieser "key message" (aller zitierten Headings) führt m. E. automatisch zur richtigen Übersetzung dieses Aufzählungspunktes.
