Did they have their own scientists / specialists travelling in the rear who then try to figure out how to get the facility back online? I’m assuming here that the enemy workers have already fled and the facilities are empty.

Firstly, a german factory for example doesn’t differ too much from an american, british or whatever nation factory. So yes, people could relatively easily figure these things out. Remember, back then, they didn’t use computers. A welding station looks similar wherever you go.
Secondly, if you do things the way they should be done, you try not to target civilians. Not saying that this wasn’t done. I live in a tactically completely unimportant village that was bombed in WW2. But you generally try to keep at least most the civilians alive. Those civilians work in the factories they worked in before the war. Little anecdote: My wife is from ukraine and her grandmother told her how nice the german soldiers were to her and her siblings. Even shared chocolate(!)
