Logistic Dictionary

Preface

The central purpose of this dictionary to assist logistics people in understanding of logistics terms and day-to-day expressions along the supply chain process is becoming more and more important to working together successfully. Over a period of four years, more than 12,000 copies of this booklet have been sold, reflecting the increasing role of logistics in a global competitive environment.

The success of this dictionary is also based on the contributions of many individuals to whom we owe a great deal. As a feedback from all over the world and an important source of new information to us, many suggestions have been given from fellow logisticians who use this booklet for specific translations on site or to communicate with their colleagues, customers or suppliers about logistics processes around the globe. As well, credit should be given to CLM, the American Council of Logistics Management for some new definitions and to the International Chamber of Commerce for the 'Incoterms' in parts.

With this revised and enlarged new edition, we added about seven hundred new terms, abbreviations and down-to-earth examples of how to use them. The booklet now contains about 10,400 entries, English to German and vice versa. It is the editor's wish that this dictionary may help logistics people, and business managers in general, to understand and manage the supply chain more effectively.

As always, we very much appreciate any and all suggestions for additional entries to this dictionary or improvements that could be made. A reply card for this purpose appears near the back of the book. You may also use this card if you would like to be included on the distribution list advising you of new editions and updates when they become available.
