Product Description
A glossary for experienced and new professionals in supply chain software, operations, logistics, or warehousing. There are thousands acronyms ("buzzwords") that exist today. This handbook takes the mystery out of those and explains what they mean!
This glossary takes the mystery out of the keywords used in multiple verticals - especially software, warehousing, standards, transportation, logistics, organizations, and government. These keywords are normally abbreviations and acronyms therefore we have primarily focused on these.
This glossary will put a current or new practitioner on the "fast track" learning curve of the supply chain language utilized today. It enables them to get "up to speed" quicker!
Edition 3 has TWICE the information, with new & expanded sections. Recognized experts in the logistics, operations, and warehousing fields have contributed greatly to this new edition! Computer, Warehousing, Transportation, Standards, EDI, and Business keywords are enhanced. NEW sections include RFID, Incoterms, EDIFACT, Government, Conveyor, Material Safety Data Sheets, and Pallets word types.
Highly recommended for new supply chain students, professionals, management, and support staff (software firms, integration firms, consulting firms) that need to understand the "supply chain language".
Reader ReviewsThe glossary is very comprehensive, and helpful both to people new to the industry as well as those who have been in it for several years. Hard to think of any other place where one could find a compilation so comprehensive. Great reference manual.
