* '''Supply chain''' — The end-to-end network of organizations, activities, resources, and information involved in moving a product from raw material to customer.
* '''Demand forecasting''' — Predicting future customer demand for products to inform inventory and production decisions.
* '''Inventory optimization''' — Determining optimal stock levels to minimize holding costs while avoiding stockouts.
* '''Safety stock''' — Buffer inventory held to protect against demand uncertainty and supply variability.
* '''Lead time''' — The time between placing an order and receiving the goods.
* '''Bullwhip effect''' — The amplification of demand variability as orders propagate upstream in a supply chain.
* '''Last-mile delivery''' — The final leg of delivery to the end customer; typically the most expensive and complex part of logistics.
* '''Route optimization''' — Finding the most efficient paths for vehicles to deliver goods to multiple destinations.
* '''Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)''' — A combinatorial optimization problem of routing a fleet of vehicles to serve a set of customers.
* '''Digital twin (supply chain)''' — A virtual simulation of the entire supply chain enabling scenario testing and optimization.
* '''Supply chain visibility''' — Real-time tracking of goods, inventory, and suppliers across the entire network.
* '''Predictive maintenance (logistics)''' — Predicting vehicle or equipment failures before they occur to prevent disruptions.
* '''Risk management''' — Identifying and mitigating supply chain disruptions from natural disasters, supplier failures, geopolitical events.
* '''Multi-echelon inventory''' — Managing inventory simultaneously across multiple levels (factory → DC → store) of the supply chain.
