The term "backlog" refers to a buildup of work that has not been completed. The presence of a backlog can have positive or negative implications. For example, a rising backlog of home orders might indicate rising sales. On the other hand, companies generally want to avoid having a backlog as it could suggest increasing inefficiency in the production process. Likewise, a large backlog might be a portentous sign of lagging demand, but may also signify improving production efficiency. Naturally, unexpected backlogs can compromise forecasts and production schedules.
