We find it comprehensive, clear and expertly laid out. It is a valuable asset in assisting our incursion into this industry and market.” - William Rest, Project Manager, EM Data Consultants “IDII is to be congratulated for the enormous achievement of bringing together almost all of the ‘jargon’ of the Supply Chain business and technical world in one easy to use reference! I was surprised to find that the author had many abbreviations in the Warehousing and Distribution area that even I, after 32 years in the field, had not encountered.” - Art Avery, Distribution & Warehousing Consultant - www.elogistics101.com “This book is exceedingly helpful in coming to common, real world, feet on the street understanding. A great resource. I thought the idea and execution of this is great. I have always thought the EDI numbering system standards to be incomprehensible. I thought it was like the secret language that the I/S guys used to talk.” - James Fox, Supply Chain Consultant Table of Contents * Acknowledgements 1 * Target Audience 1 * Table of Contents 4 * Word Types 6 * Suggest A Word 7       * Business Words 8 * Computer Chat 25 * Computer Words 38 * Conveyor Words 44 * Country Codes 53 * EDI Transactions & Abbreviations 61 * EDIFACT Transactions & Abbreviations 66 * Government Words 87 * Incoterms - Groups - Meanings 90 * Manufacturing Words 93 * Material Safety Data Sheet Terminology - HazMat 98 * Organization Abbreviations 105 * Pallet Words 114 * Purchasing Words 120 * RFID - Tag Types - Frequencies - Vendors 123 * Standards 128 * Transportation Words 139 * US States & Canadian Provinces 160 * Warehouse Words 163       * Main Glossary - All Words Listed 183 - A - 189 - B - 196 - C - 202 - D - 217 - E - 224 - F - 229 - G - 235 - H - 238 - I - 241 - J - 248 - K - 249 - L - 251 - M - 256 - N - 263 - O - 267 - P - 271 - Q - 281 - R - 282 - S - 288 - T - 299 - U - 306 - V - 310 - W - 312 - X - 316 - Y - 316 - Z - 317       * Need More Information? 318 Front Cover Front Cover at 600 DPI Front Cover at 300 DPI Front Cover at 144 DPI Front Cover at 72 DPI Suggest a New Word for Next Edition Enter new words, acronyms, and codes at http://www.idii.com/addword.htm.
