This unique, single volume dictionary aims to make sense of the
language of generic terms, jargon, abbreviations and management
buzzwords, to say nothing of the legal terms and definitions, that
has grown up around the transport and logistics industries.
-Provides clear, unambiguous definitions of some 3,000 terms,
-Endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.
-UK and EU terms covered; -A work of reference for everyone in the
sector, from newcomers to senior management David Lowe has been
actively involved in the road transport industry for more than 40
years, gaining 'hands'on' road haulage and logistics experience and
a detailed knowledge of UK and EU transport law. He is the author
of The Transport Manager's and Operator's Handbook now in it's 31st
year of publication, and has written many other books, guides,
study manuals and magazine articles on transport and logistics. He
is an active member for the Chartered Institute of Logistics and
Transport and is Champion of the Institute's Freight Transport
Special Interest Group. He is also a Liveryman of the Worshipful
Company of Carmen and a Freeman of the City of London. Freight
transport and logistics operations have become so technically
sophisticated that a whole language of generic terms, jargon,
abbreviations and managements to say nothing of the legal terms and
definitions, has been generated. Vehicle manufacturers now strive
to find new terms to describe technical achievements and new
products, while legislators give such long titles to new
regulations that they have to be identified with acronyms.
Furthermore, recent developments in logistics and supply chain
concepts have spawned a plethora of management concepts and new IT
terms, initials and acronyms. The aim of this dictionary is to
identify these terms and, in clear unambiguous English, provide
accurate descriptions and definitions. With some 3,000 terms and
abbreviations and acronyms included this is the most comprehensive
dictionary of its type currently available. It will prove
invaluable to readers from all sectors and at all levels from
students and junior staff to top management, all of whom may need
to source the meaning or relevance of industry terms not generally
found in standard English language dictionaries.
