business work load // work volume

My comment:

Betrieblich often means nothing else but "business". I don't think that operational, operative, operations, etc. would fit here (that would be too specific).

Sorry, but "Aufkommen" has nothing to do with "requirements". I am a marker of national translation exams, and that would be considered a mistranslation.

It is still what it means, isn' it? If I am prepared to work acc. to the workload, I work as much as it takes to get the job done = as much as required / the job requires. "Volume" is also not 100% correct because "Arbeitsaufkommen" can also mean "time" (e.g. with coaches, drivers ...) We prefer to get the message across rather than sticking to literal translations (succesfully for 18 years now.)

It all depends on how you phrase it. If you say, "...whatever is required", that's fine. But the noun "requirements" just does not work here. It may not look like a big difference to someone whose first language is not English, but to us it's a very big difference.
