German term

schlichten

German to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping
This is from a document about the acceptance procedures for a big new warehouse:

It appears here ('Schlichtalgorithmen'):

möglichst optimale Einstellung der Schlichtalgorithmen in Abwägung zwischen Paletten-Volumen und Filialanforderungen

and again here:

tatsächlich geschlichtete WA-Einheiten


I do have a logistics dictionary but no joy there.

Discussion

Bernd Runge Dec 9, 2022:
(Über)Schlichtung Mit Überschlichtung ist die über den Grundriss der Palette hinausgehende Überladung von Paletten gemeint.

Schlichten scheint also das Beladen/Packen der Palette zu sein. Es gibt auch Umschlichten, etc.
Ich würde etwas mit pallet packing algorithm probieren ...

Thank you very much Brent, this is what I decided to go with.

neutral Bernd Runge : Bei Stacking würde ich immer an die vertikale Komponente denken. Sicherlich ein wichtiger Teil, deckt aber mMn nicht den ganzen Begriff ab. Lasse mich aber gern eines Besseren belehren ;-)

[right-]sizing ([right-]packaging)

Wenn ich mir den Satzteil "möglichst optimale Einstellung der Schlichtalgorithmen in Abwägung zwischen Paletten-Volumen und Filialanforderungen" betrachte, so habe ich den Eindruck, dass es nicht um Stapeln als solches geht und auch nicht um akkurates Ausrichten der Einzelpaletten, sondern um die richtigen Abmessungen für Verkaufsverpackungen, damit diese gut in die Ladenregale passen. Das wäre mit "sizing" oder "retail packaging" gut zu übersetzen.

Right-sizing: and right-weighting are two key processes to cut costs in packaging. Right-sizing ensures the optimal size of packaging for the product and supply chain, while protecting the product. Right-weighting optimises the materials used in the packaging so the product is still protected while reducing overall weight. Both processes offer cost reduction, but there are other benefits.

Next, it’s time to start selecting the packaging that works best for your company. Some factors to consider include the size of items being shipped, content requirements such as barcodes, and how to best convey your brand image and values.

Sizing:: Consider the size and shape of your bag assortment. If you are not fully optimizing your shopping bags in accordance with your product sizes, then you have an opportunity for improvement. Choosing a bag that is just one size down could mean significant savings.
:
Sizing: If there’s extra room in your box, then there’s room for savings. Consider reducing the size of your box and/or selecting a shape that is more fitting for your product. For example, making the change from a 2” high apparel box to a 1.5” or even 1” high box will reduce costs. And with smaller boxes come more efficient freight rates, another chance for savings.

Proposal for context translation:
optimized setting of the sizing/packaging algorithms based on pallet volume and shelf specifications.
Note from asker:
Johannes, I really like your answer and I'm so grateful for the research you put in, I think your answer provides a great explanation of what is meant by schlichten in a logistics context. Alas, I decided to go with 'stacking' as it fitted quite well in the document.
