Response time
This might also be another way of expressing it. Time required for a technician to respond in hours, minutes, etc.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.

ETA (Expected Time of Arrival)
According to the sample sentence below, I assume Antrittszeit means ETA, since the sentence means "How many hours, minutes etc. after receipt of a failure report can a technician locally be?"

No problem at all. I thought it sounded too "American". Your description was accurate enough, since we have a winner. It's just the choice of words, and most of all, English nor German is not my native language although I understand them, so sometimes it's very difficult to express myself in those two languages.

Note from asker:
| Thanks very much. I'm afraid that "expected" in ETA is not binding enough, as it may be used in Service Level Agreements. I should have been more accurate in my description. Sorry. |
