materials management


Explanation:
Als het over boomkwekerijproducten gaat, is onderstaande wellicht relevant"

"Op de afdeling Administratie, welke bestaat uit facturatie, charter, fust en financieel, houdt de fustadministratie zich bezig met het administreren van het gebruikte fust, zoals pallets en plantenkarren."

http://vacature.monsterboard.nl/Hoofd-Fustadministratie-m-v-...


Ik weet het niet helemaal zeker, en misschien is het te omvattend, maar wellicht kan dit de lading eventueel dekken:

Materials Management and Distribution specialists are in great demand -- in light of the current trend toward globalization.

agree  Jack den Haan: ...maar is wellicht niet specifiek genoeg.
16 mins
  -> ik denk het ook Jack
agree  L.J.Wessel van Leeuwen: I considered making a separate suggestion but since your refence led me to my suggestion I prefer to suggest via you: Material Handling Management. This imo emcompasses both materials, handling of all necessary impements et al and management side.
1 hr
  -> thanks
neutral  Textpertise: I think materials management has a more extensive job description than fustadministratie, which IMHO relates almost entirely to packing, packaging and containers and would not involve the management of other materials.
1 hr
  -> that is right, materials management is probably more inclusive than is needed here.
neutral  philgoddard: I agree with Textpertise.

container administration


Explanation:
Key benefits Dynamic Horti
Expanded functionality for potted plant and young plant nurseries. Sales, Planning, Production Planning, inventory management, container administration, ...

Or possibly container records / record-keeping.

Fust was usually referred to as containers by a company I once translated for in the field of returnable packing systems.

http://www.tuinbouwjobs.nl/tuinbouw-vacature/detail/medewerk...
De afdeling fustadministratie houdt zich bezig met:
- het administreren van het gebruikte fust, zoals pallets en plantenkarren
- het corrigeren van fustbonnen en deze verwerken
- facturatie
- het archiveren van de fustadministratie
- bijhouden van de palletlijsten

The pallets etc. are returnable goods:

Voor beheer van fust in de tuinbouw zoals CC-karren en platen waarop statiegeld wordt geheven, is een goede en sluitende administratie noodzaak. Het fustpakket van Coval BV werkt als een soort grootboek waarbij de fustbeweging als een journaalpost in een saldoboekhouding wordt vastgelegd.

agree  Jack den Haan: ...although 'container' might suggest the large "sea" containers.

  -> Thanks, Jack. I think it should be clear enough in the context of a tree nursery ;-)

  -> Bedankt Max.
agree  philgoddard: I don't think there's any implication that accounting is involved, so I'd go for "packaging administration".
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Phil.
neutral  Textpertise: I think your suggestion weighs too heavily on the accounts side and not heavy enough on the logistics side, which imho is the emphasis of the job - making sure the right packaging, pots, troughs, etc. are there in sufficient quantity when needed.
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Textpertise. I think opting for 'administration' would be a fair solution in this case.
