More about the book

One of the main goals of the logistics and supply chain management function is to enable an enterprise to serve its customers in a quick, precise, reliable, error-free and flexible manner. Interfuntional communication is just as important as the effective use of modern information exchange technologies through worldwide networks and data highways. All the functions in the logistics chain must strive to do this job at the lowest possible cost. Professional management and efficient design of these logistics processes determine an enterprise's competitive position to a large degree and are therefore closely connected to topics like customer-, employee-, competition- and process-orientation, time management, innovative strength, increased productivity, high quality, and the often-needed behavioral change demanded of our employees when trying to overcome technical, process-oriented and cultural barriers. These more than 8.000 'Logistics Terms' are based on these topics. They are the result of many years' work in production, purchasing, distribution, trade and traffic as well as information and communication.
