English translation:handling of hanging garments
Explanation:
Im Einzelhandel ist die Logistik für Hängewaren (=Kleidung) oft ein entscheidender Kostenfaktor, d.h. jede Ineffizienz kommt teuer. Für mich bezieht sich der Terminus eindeutig auf die Ablauforganisation (Logistik) und damit heißt es "handling" oder "logistics".

Explanation:
I think the word "management" fits better in this scenario. Handling is restrictive, and processing rather implies raw material or raw data.
