Manufacturing resource planningManufacturing resource planning (MRP II) is a method for the effective planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational planning in units, financial planning, and has a simulation capability to answer "what-if" questions and is an extension of closed-loop MRP (Material Requirements Planning). This is not exclusively a software function, but the management of people skills, requiring a dedication to database accuracy, and sufficient computer resources.
Production planningProduction planning is the planning of production and manufacturing modules in a company or industry. It utilizes the resource allocation of activities of employees, materials and production capacity, in order to serve different customers. Different types of production methods, such as single item manufacturing, batch production, mass production, continuous production etc. have their own type of production planning. Production planning can be combined with production control into production planning and control, or it can be combined with enterprise resource planning.
AchatL'achat est le mouvement par lequel une personne physique ou morale devient possesseur de quelque chose en échange de la valeur financière attribuée à celle-ci, exprimée en monnaie (qui n'est pas forcément la monnaie locale), donné à son ex-possesseur. L'acte s'opère dans le cadre d'un processus comprenant une série de décisions et une exécution. L'objet de l'achat est l'acquisition et tout ce qui est mis en vente n'est pas obligatoirement acheté.
Document automationDocument automation (also known as document assembly or document management) is the design of systems and workflows that assist in the creation of electronic documents. These include logic-based systems that use segments of pre-existing text and/or data to assemble a new document. This process is increasingly used within certain industries to assemble legal documents, contracts and letters. Document automation systems can also be used to automate all conditional text, variable text, and data contained within a set of documents.

Un kanban, du japonais , est une fiche cartonnée ou une étiquette RFID ou simplement un emballage que l'on fixe sur les bacs ou les conteneurs de pièces dans une ligne d'assemblage ou une zone de stockage. Le terme désigne aussi la méthode de gestion de production en flux tendu mise en œuvre à la fin des années 1950 dans les usines Toyota et consistant à asservir la production d'un poste en amont d'une chaîne de travail aux besoins exacts du poste en aval.
Inventory controlInventory control or stock control can be broadly defined as "the activity of checking a shop's stock". It is the process of ensuring that the right amount of supply is available within a business. However, a more focused definition takes into account the more science-based, methodical practice of not only verifying a business's inventory but also maximising the amount of profit from the least amount of inventory investment without affecting customer satisfaction.
Management du système d'informationLe management du système d'information ou la gestion des systèmes d'information (aussi appelé dans un sens plus restreint : informatique de gestion et parfois management de la performance) est une discipline des sciences de gestion ou du management regroupant l'ensemble des connaissances, des techniques et des outils assurant la gestion de données et leur sécurité, et plus généralement l'organisation et la protection du système d'information.
Demand chainThe term demand chain has been used in a business and management context as contrasting terminology alongside, or in place of, "supply chain". Madhani suggests that the demand chain "comprises all the demand processes necessary to understand, create, and stimulate customer demand". Cranfield School of Management academic Martin Christopher has suggested that "ideally the supply chain should become a demand chain", explaining that ideally all product logistics and processing should occur "in response to a known customer requirement".
Distribution centerA distribution center for a set of products is a warehouse or other specialized building, often with refrigeration or air conditioning, which is stocked with products (goods) to be redistributed to retailers, to wholesalers, or directly to consumers. A distribution center is a principal part, the order processing element, of the entire order fulfillment process. Distribution centers are usually thought of as being demand driven. A distribution center can also be called a warehouse, a DC, a fulfillment center, a cross-dock facility, a bulk break center, and a package handling center.
Sales and operations planningLe processus sales and operations planning désigné sous le sigle S&OP est un processus de décision périodique (généralement mensuel) et collaboratif au cours duquel une entreprise (ou tout autre organisation) établit un consensus entre des objectifs de ventes ou de distribution, des objectifs financiers et des capacités internes de réalisation de l'entreprise (capacité de production, inventaires, main-d'œuvre...). Le but est d'accéder à un plan unique, réalisable et partagé des parties présentes.
