German term or phrase: Kapazitäten eingebucht
Hi guys,

Wondering could you help me out with this, the part "Kapazitäten eingebucht" in particular:

"Mitarbeiter wurden bezüglich der neuen Vorgaben für China-Visa geschult und auch weitere Kapazitäten eingebucht."

The text deals with new rules on applying for Chinese visa.

Thanks,

Gavin

Explanation:
Or lined up, or prepared.
We don't know what this capacity is - it could be people or machines or vehicles - and I'm not clear what this has to do with visas. But I don't think that matters, and a literal translation works perfectly well.

I know it's normally "capacities" but doesn't seem to fit here so let's see what else comes up

maybe "activities/tasks" for "Kapazitäten" but we would need more context...
