German term or phrase: Die Grenze zwischen innerer und äußerer Logistik bilden die Bereitstellzonen

Innerhalb der Untersuchung wurden die logistischen Anteile der Montagelinie beschrieben.
*Die Grenze zwischen innerer und äußerer Logistik bilden die Bereitstellzonen (feed areas?)*. Aus diesen versorgen sich die Werker selbständig mit dem notwendigen Material. Das Logistikpersonal sorgt für eine Auffüllung der Bereitstellzonen. Um die Beeinträchtigung der Werker gering zu halten, wird die Bereitstellung der Kleinladungsträger auf Bodenrollern vorgeschlagen.
Am Arbeitsplatz kommen Kistenhubgeräte zum Einsatz um optimale ergonomische Bedingungen gewährleisten zu können.

The boundary between inner and outer logistics constitutes the feeder areas?

English translation:The boundary between inner and outer logistics form the supply areas.

Explanation:
This is aliteral and in my opinion the correct translation of your context. However, I noticed that the verb of the sentence is in plural whereas the subject is in singular, I don't know if that's a typo on your behalf or a flaw in the sourcetext. In order for this sentence to be grammatically correct I would suggest to set the subject in plural and thus translate the sentence as follows:The boundaries between inner and outer logistics form the supply areas, or The supply areas are formed by the boundaries between inner and outer logistics.

Subject of the sentence

Explanation:
In German, the subject does not necessarily have to come at the beginning of the sentence. As lindau points out, the verb, "bilden," is plural. This tells you that the subject of the sentence is "Bereitstellzonen." This type of sentence structure is not found in English - perhaps this is what has caused the confusion.
