Bus/Financial - Management
French term or phrase: PLS
From a text regarding Demand Chain Management:

"L’amélioration de la planification pose le problème de calcul de prévisions et de plans de réapprovisionnement fiables et détaillés à très fine maille. Le nombre élevé de références produits (100 000 SKUs ) , les fortes spécificités par catégorie de produit (CPG, PLS, EPCS, Bazar, Textile,..), la variabilité du mix de vente dans le temps (produits saisonniers, promotions) et dans l’espace (200 Magasins) exigent de disposer d’outils appropriés et puissants pour planifier à l’optimum la chaîne logistique"

I believe that PLS is short for "produits en libre service" here. But can anyone please provide a fitting translation of this in an English context.

Many thanks.
