supply chain management
Concerning the links in the "supply chain". Don't have much more contexte than the following:
Tous les maillons de la chaîne complexe qui va de l’émission d’une Demande d’Achat jusqu’à la livraison – en passant par le gestionnaire autorisant la Demande d’Achat, les acheteurs qui référencent ces marchandises, les approvisionneurs qui transforment la demande d’achat en commande fournisseur puis qui la suivent, la plate-forme qui assure éventuellement sa préparation, les pilotes de flux qui en organisent le transport et les opérations douanières – auront vu leur processus s’améliorer considérablement en trois années.
I have been researching this a fair bit, but since I don't have a good background in supply chain management, I'm not sure that the terms I'm seeing are reliable... One thing is for sure, I haven't come across many "flow pilots"!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Mara

my logistics ditctionary gives "pilotage de flux" = flow control/flow monitoring
This makes sense because "piloter" means" to run, to manage, to steer, to control,
sous le pilotage de: under the control of, under the leadership of, under the stewardsip of......

Comment: "This is what I went with, although I think flow manager could have worked just as well. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!"

material flow management
There are no direct translation for "Pilotage de flux". however, material flow management might be a good call

: "FLOW MANAGER" Many hits with a similar idea: www.eprocess.prologue.fr/flow_manager.html ...I would bet this refers to a computer software of some sort.

logistics
Judging from the description of what they do, I would imagine that logistics managers/management or possibly even operators would probably fit ("pilote" is often used in a vague management/leadership sense). And management of flows of goods is kinda what logistics is. So I'd probably do a bit of web research to check that logistics operators deal with customs aspects when required (I think they do but I'm not sure) and see if it fits.
Something went wrong...
