French term

capacité de remplissage

French to English Tech/Engineering Science (general)
What I am not sure about is whether capacité de remplissage refers to the filing capacity of the gas cylinders (that's what remplissage refers to) or the capacity of the company to carry out the filling (in terms of staff, methods used etc.)

- tient des tableaux de données statistiques des remplissages pour son supérieur afin d’améliorer l’organisation de la capacité de remplissage.

"afin d’améliorer l’organisation".

Yes, I think so because the statistics are being collected in order to improve the organisation of the filling - "organisation" being the key word.
Note from asker:
Are you saying it refers to the ability of the firm to fill cylinders rather than what each cylinder can hold?

agree Sheila Wilson : I doubt that it would be about the cylinder capacity - that's fixed, they just fill them!
4 hrs
agree lachacel : It seems logical; cylinders are already installed and their size cannot be modified, therefore, neither their capacity.
