What do the Manufacturing Production Process Development, Logistics and Inventory Control, and Health, Safety, and Environmental Assurance pathways have in common?

All three pathways focus on how work is planned and carried out: production process development creates and improves manufacturing processes, logistics and inventory control manages the flow of materials, and health, safety, and environmental assurance develops and checks practices that support safe operations. Their common thread is evaluating and creating processes, not producing only retail or automotive products. Safety procedures are specific to the assurance pathway, so D is too narrow.
