Notes to answerer
Asker: werkgang has nothing to do with speed here.

neutral  Michael Beijer: in one pace? / as far as I know, in English you walk at a pace, not in it.
4 mins
  -> Just google for expression "in one pace"

neutral  Bryan Crumpler: Just to add: Googling gives hits for "in one pace" as a typo for "in one place". Otherwise, "in one pace" = all at the same speed, and it would be a literary figure of speech... albeit out of context here (as per the Asker)

some examples of how 'werkgang' is used:

'GPS (gerst) hakselen en persen in een werkgang'
'Ploegen en kopeggen in één werkgang'
'Primeur in gemeente Lopik: twee kleuren asfalt in een werkgang'
'Spitten en mais zaaien in één werkgang'
'Spitten, sporen rijden en bemesten in één werkgang'

--------------------------------------------------

compare with:

'plowing, harrowing, and planting can all be done in a single operation.'
'prepare the seedbed, and sow the flax in a single operation.'
'describes a method of plowing and sowing in a single operation'

Notes to answerer
Asker: 'werkgang' does not only refer to the 'action' itself but also to the piece of land that undergoes the action, as in 'Spoorvolging uitschakelen voor rustig stuurgedrag in de werkgang'. Werkgang then refers to a marked strip of land that is being treated, as well as to the treatment itself

"In a single run" seems to be the terminology used a lot in agricultural contexts especially with regard to machinery.

See e.g. http://www.google.com/patents/US4078626 where it says: The functions of these working appliances can therefore be performed largely simultaneously in the operationally and agriculturally most advantageous sequence, and in such a way that the system for the first time enables the manuring, cultivation, seeding and subsequent covering of the ground to be carried out in a single run over the field.

Or here: http://www.checchiemagli.com/Transplanters-B-30-Prod1-12-1.a...
where they say: In fact, in a single run you can arrange plants in pair-rows comprising from 2 to 8 rows

agree  Michael Beijer: yup; process or operation are both correct
8 mins
  -> Thanks, Michael. I considered agreeing with you but then entered this answer because it is possible for a process to contain more than one operation. It is a question of how the process is defined. So process allows for a bit more scope.
