Logistics


Explanation:
Logistik=logistics
Kette-chain
Duden: Logistik: 1. Planung, Bereitstellung und Einsatz . . .
2. (Wirtsch.) Gesamtheit aller Aktivitaeten eines Unternehmens, die
die Beschaffung, die Lagerung und den Transport von Materialien und Zwischenprodukten, die Auslieferung von Fertigprodukten, also den gesamten Fluss
von Material, Energie und Produkt betreffen.
Industriekaufmann-salesman for industrial products sounds ok to me,
even though Muret-Sanders says:
sales clerk in an industrial firm (?)
does not make much sense--does it?

Explanation:

Industriekaufmann:

This is a well-defined education - see http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.skw.de/karriere/aus...

Berufsbeschreibung:
Industriekaufleute beschaffen Material, verkaufen Produkte, beraten die Kunden, kalkulieren die Preise, sorgen dafür, dass die Finanzen stimmen, gewinnen und betreuen die Mitarbeiter. Sie disponieren, planen, koordinieren, verhandeln und noch vieles mehr. Die vielseitige Ausbildung umfasst alle kaufmännischen Bereiche eines Industriebetriebes.

Voraussetzung:
Mittlere Reife, Fachabitur oder Abitur

Ausbildungsdauer: 2,5 Jahre

Translation: This degree is probably fairly new. Langenscheidt has: "white-collar worker in an industrial company", but based on the description above, it could perhaps be rendered "Bachelor of of Industrial Commerce".
