English term or phrase: CM
Bonjour,

dans un schéma (d'où mes difficultés, car je n'ai pas plus de précisions), il est question des chiffres utilisés pour analyser l'activité de l'entreprise. On a ainsi:
P+L (profit and loss = compte de résultat)
OPEX (operational expenditure = dépenses d'exploitation)
CM (??)
KPI (key performance indicator = ICP, pour indicateur clé de performance)
HC (??)
Units shipped (= unités expédiées)

Je ne parviens pas du tout à trouver la signification des acronymes HC et CM.

Merci de votre aide.

cheese merit


Explanation:
Bonjour,
Quel est le domaine d'activité de l'entreprise?
Sur le site indiqué ci-dessus cnm signifie "cheese merit"

Example sentence(s):
  • Differences in milk pricing throughout the US result in different economic values of genetic improvements in milk and milk components. To account for this, USDA-AIPL calculates 3 lifetime merit indices: net merit (NM$), fluid merit (FM$) and cheese merit
  • Table 2. Economic values and relative values of the 11 traits in the net merit (NM$), fluid merit (FM$) and cheese merit (CM$) indices as calculated by USDA-AIPL in 2005.
