Dutch term or phrase: hulpstoffen
Een productiebedrijf heeft echter in dat geval tenminste twee voorraden en wel: de voorraad binnen gekomen materialen en hulpstoffen en de voorraad producten.

Once again I was unable to alter the specific field to Logistics:Transport. I'm sorry for the inconvenience to you, but it's not my fault.

ancillary materials


Explanation:
Terminology in Logistics [European Logistics Association, 1994]: hulpmateriaal = ancillary material; grondstof = raw material.

I think you could translate 'materialen en grondstoffen en de voorraad producten' as: raw (or basic?) and ancillary materials, and the products in stock.
