Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Management
Dutch term or phrase: traject
e.g. 'interim management traject', 'verbetertraject', 'het commerciële traject van de klant' 'logistiek traject'.

I've come across many options for a management context (process, project, system, etc), but none 'feels' right.

path / project / process / chain
Explanation:
I would suggest that you use different translations for different combinations

verbetertraject - improvement path (many relevant examples)

Our improvement path evolves as we get to each fork in the road and get those people closest to the action to help make the most appropriate choices

interim management traject - interim management project

Just one example:

The interim management project was therefore specified as being management of the disposal of the company, working with external professional advisers, via a trade sale. The project fell into three distinct phases – preparation, negotiation and post completion.

commercieel traject - commercial process

The challenge is to fulfill a complete commercial process, from concept to launch (many relevant examples)

logistiek traject - supply chain

Help your team better control your supply chain (many examples)
