New Glossary of Supply Chain Terminology

Industrial Data & Information, Inc. announces the first edition of a new valuable resource for professionals in the supply chain field. This resource is the "Glossary of Supply Chain Terminology For Logistics, Manufacturing, Warehousing, & Technology".

This glossary is for experienced professionals in supply chain software, operations, logistics, or warehousing. There are thousands of acronyms ("industry buzzwords") that exist today. This handbook takes the mystery out of those and explains what they mean!

This new glossary will greatly help new logistics professionals go faster on the learning curve. Both new & experienced professionals are challenged to know the many industry terms used in warehousing, transportation, computers, EDI, government, manufacturing, standards, business, and with various organizations.

Philip Obal, President of Industrial Data & Information, says, "Most glossaries are intended for a single industry, but a supply chain expert must have robust knowledge in multiple industries. This glossary is a multi-industry glossary and helps the system integrators, IT staff, consultants, executives, new users, and expert users - as it targets 'Supply Chain Professionals' as the primary audience."

Reviews of the glossary, table of contents, book cover image, and author's picture & biography are available on IDII's website - See http://www.IDII.com/gsct_info.htm

Single copies of the "Glossary of Supply Chain Terminology For Logistics, Manufacturing, Warehousing, & Technology" are $39.95 US. Available from Amazon.com or IDII.com. ISBN 0-9669345-3-9. Spiral Bound. 218 Pages. Bulk quantity discounts are available from IDII.com.

IDII will release future editions of this glossary with new terms, abbreviations, & acronyms based upon suggestions from our readers and IDII’s ongoing research.
