German to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space Maintenance

Context:

"Anstoß und Durchführung notwendiger Maßnahmen zur Bewahrung des Sollzustandes, zur Erhaltung der Anlage und deren Verfügbarkeit"

for maintenance (Wartung) in contrast to:

"Einleiten notwendiger Maßnahmen"

for servicing (Inspektions-Leistungen).

To me, this "Anstoß" would seem to be more or less synonymous with "Einleiten", but I'm hesitant about simply translating it as such, in case there is a funamental difference here that I'm not aware of.
Anstoß soll kein Stein des Anstoßes sein ;-)
