* '''[[w:Material flow|Material flow]]''' (MF) is the description of the transportation of raw materials, pre-fabricates, parts, components, integrated objects and finally products as a flow of entities. The term applies mainly to advanced modeling of [[w:Supply chain management|Supply chain management]]. As industrial material flow can easily become very complex [[w:Plant Simulation|Plant Simulation]] Software has been developed to simulate, visualize, analyze and optimize these processes.

* '''[[w:Reverse logistics]]''' stands for all operations related to the reuse of products and materials. It is "the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of consumption to the point of origin for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal.

* '''[[w:Global sourcing|Global sourcing]]''' is the practice of [[w:sourcing|sourcing]] from the global market for goods and services across [[w:geopolitical|geopolitical]] boundaries. Global sourcing often aims to exploit global efficiencies in the delivery of a product or service. These efficiencies include low cost skilled labor, low cost raw material and other economic factors like tax breaks and low trade tariffs.
