Portuguese term

abastecimento e desabastecimento

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing Automated production line
Hi everyone,

I'm stuck on this one. Any help will certainly be appreciated.

The context is an automated production line and this combination comes up a few times:

"abastecimento e desabastecimento de produção"

I've found a few examples:

Due to the confidential nature of the project, I'm not at liberty to post sample sentences from my work, but it is in line with the links above. Now, please don't say "supply" and "shortage" :)

Again thanks for your time and effort on this.

Thank you everyone! For your contributions.
I ended up using "stacking / destacking" because that's what they used later on in the text. It's one of those cases where it seems clearly they made a bad choice of Portuguese words "abastecimento/desabastecimento".
Mario Freitas Oct 5, 2016:
@ Gilmar, I insist the meaning of "desabastecimento" in Portuguese is not the opposite of "abastecimento". It's not a removal of stock/materials. It's the lack of it, the non-supply, or the shortage.

Stacking / destacking After I got more involved in this translation, I noticed that in some instances they used "stacking / destacking" in English for the above terms in Portuguese. I'm still in doubt whether this makes sense.

Replenishment and Removal

Overview

Replenishment and removal are important processes which the warehouse manager and worker can utilize to ensure that the warehouse runs as efficiently as possible. Replenishment can be used to replenish raw materials to the production supply area or replenish the picking area with inventory from the high rack. Removal can be used to move finished goods from the production output area to the warehouse.

regular supply and shortage

Abastecimento = supply, but let's say regular supply to contrast with desabastecimento.
Desabastecimento = shortage or lack of sufficient supplies. It's not the oppostie of supplying, that is, taking supplies away from the plant. It's shortage or insufficient supplies.
Desabastecimento = carência, falta de produto.
