English term or phrase: HC
Bonjour,

même problème que pour CM...
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 de l'acronyme HC.

Merci de votre aide.

French translation:Holding Costs
Explanation:
Puisque cet acronyme est suivi d'un chiffre et qu'à priori il est question de marchandise, ce pourrait être ca.

"In business management, holding cost is money spent to keep and maintain a stock of goods in storage"

Hors-cote,


Explanation:
D'un point de vue économique, je dirais "hors-cote", mais vu qu'il s'agit d'informatique, l'abtéviation HC est souvent utilisée piur désigner d'une manière générale, les hydrocarbures (un des composants qui entre en jeu dans la fabrication des processeurs, condensateurs,...)

high cube = conteneurs hors-cotes


Explanation:
puisqu'on parle plus bas de unit shipped, il est probable qu'il s'agisse de ceci

conteneur hors-cotes ou hors-normes = conteneur dont les dimensions dépassent les normes internationales (Termium)
