Portuguese term

pivoteamento

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
In a document for a large mining concern I have pivoteamento de carga ... having trouble figuring it out:

... as oportunidades são enormes e os desafios também, em função da (i) complexidade oriunda da nova realidade mercadológica (preços trimestrais, vendas à vista e entregas CIF) e suas implicações operacionais (gestão de estoques, blendagem, pivoteamento da carga etc.), (ii) dos novos padrões de operação portuária e de navegação decorrentes da adoção de navios graneleiros de grandessíssimo porte...

Thanks!
Proposed translations (English)

A quick look on the Internet shows that pivoteamento is a stock control term. Is it the PT equivalent of JIT "JUST-IN-TIME"?

pivoted load

[usually in singular] a person or thing that plays a central part in a situation or enterprise:
the pivot of community life was the chapel

it sounds better than load pivoting
Peer comment(s):

disagree Dr Lofthouse : it would be 'pivotal ' (the chapel was pivotal in community life)

pivoted is perfectly right. Use your English dictionary. That would help!
