Editorial Reviews

Review

This book is exceedingly helpful in coming to common, real world, feet on the street understanding. A great resource! -- James Fox, Supply Chain Consultant, 2003

We find it comprehensive, clear and expertly laid out. It is a valuable asset into this industry and market. -- William Rest, Project Manager, EM Data Consultants, 2003


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".

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent addition to my library, November 11, 2003
The terminology in this industry seems endless. So it's great to have something for reference when unfamiliar terms or phrases are brought into conversation. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to gain familiarity with the buzzwords of the industry. It seems like a perfect tool for college graduates who don't want to be caught off guard in a job interview. And it also is great for someone like me, who's been in the business for a while. Easy read.

Sincerely,
Rick Howard

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful to both new & experienced practitioners, November 4, 2003
By L. Vandevrede (Scottsdale, AZ, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, Current, and Very Handy, October 6, 2003
By Eric Hansen (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have found Mr. Obal's Glossary of Supply Chain Terminology invaluable in keeping current and specific with the constantly changing Supply Chain lingo.

It is as concise and current as any reference book on this subject that I have seen. I find the EDI Code definitions particularly helpful.

Very highly recommended especially for logistics professionals who must communicate across companies, industries, stages, and modes in the supply chain.
