ASIN: 0966934539

Book Description

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

This glossary takes the mystery out of the keywords used in multiple verticals - especially software, warehousing, standards, transportation, logistics, organizations, and government. These keywords are normally abbreviations and acronyms - therefore we have primarily focused on these.

This glossary will put a current or new practitioner on the "fast track" learning curve of the supply chain language utilized today. It enables them to get "up to speed" quicker!

Edition 3 has TWICE the information, with new & expanded sections. Recognized experts in the logistics, operations, and warehousing fields have contributed greatly to this new edition! Computer, Warehousing, Transportation, Standards, EDI, and Business keywords are enhanced. NEW sections include RFID, Incoterms, EDIFACT, Government, Conveyor, Material Safety Data Sheets, and Pallets word types.

Highly recommended for new supply chain students, professionals, management, and support staff (software firms, integration firms, consulting firms) that need to understand the "supply chain language".

An Enthusiastic Review.......2007-10-01

I came to the project on an executive level having little to no expertise in Warehouse Software Management (WMS). From the onset of my reading "Selecting Warehouse Software from WMS & ERP Providers" it proved to be everything and far more than I could have ever begin to appreciate. But, when I became armed with the companion work Supply Chain Terminology, I was empowered to understand the language of the industry. Hence, intuition fueled by grasping the concepts with added clarity allowed for our project to advance in a far more professional and efficient manner; discussions amongst team members was enhanced and leadership could be more effectively provided. We are now positioned to accomplish what many other reputed multi-million dollar enterprise have not been able to achieve in its supply chain software solutions, because we have an executive staff who has invested the time and have had the good fortune of sound advice and business practices from the Philip Obal series of reading materials.

An excellent addition to my library.......2003-11-12

The terminology in this industry seems endless. So it's great to have something for reference when unfamiliar terms or phrases are brought into conversation. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to gain familiarity with the buzzwords of the industry. It seems like a perfect tool for college graduates who don't want to be caught off guard in a job interview. And it also is great for someone like me, who's been in the business for a while. Easy read.

Helpful to both new & experienced practitioners.......2003-11-05

The glossary is very comprehensive, and helpful both to people new to the industry as well as those who have been in it for several years. Hard to think of any other place where one could find a compilation so comprehensive. Great reference manual.

Concise, Current, and Very Handy.......2003-10-06

I have found Mr. Obal's Glossary of Supply Chain Terminology invaluable in keeping current and specific with the constantly changing Supply Chain lingo.

It is as concise and current as any reference book on this subject that I have seen. I find the EDI Code definitions particularly helpful.

Offering a comprehensive account of EC and UK competition rules, this reference also has international relevance as EC competition rules are an important source of consultation. (The rules are increasingly used as a model by many countries when adopting or developing competition rules within their own legal systems.) In addition to cases and materials, the volume includes detailed commentary and case studies, eliminating the need for multiple information sources.

AMAZING!.......2000-09-06

AMAZING!!! That is the only word that could describe this book. It's well made, easy to read, and highly interesting. The bounding is permanent plus it's three hole punched - a very hard to find feature!

The words date, Experiment, Name, Lab Partner, and Witness are very easy to read.

Plus, it comes with a foreward that has to do with Safety in the Laborartory. It's highly interesting - perfect reading for a Friday or Saturday night!

Great way to organize research.......1999-10-04

I bought this lab book for my Introduction to Experimental Biology class at MIT. It provided an excellent grid for writing data, objectives, and other findings. It's a must-have for any bio student.

Book Description

The magnetic and related properties of lanthanide and actinide pnictides and chalcogenides have been compiled in subvolume 27B. While subvolumes 27B1, 27B2, 27B3, 27B4 and 27B5 (already published) deal with lanthanide pnictides and lanthanide chalcogenides of different type, the properties of actinide pnictides and chalcogenides are covered in subvolumes 27B6, 27B7 and 27B8 (already published). The present subvolume 27B7 deals with binary actinide pnictides and chalcogenides.

Binary actinide pnictides and chalcogenides form a large family of phases with different crystal and magnetic structures and a variety of physical properties. The literature has been reviewed up to the beginning of 2004. An index of substances at the end of this subvolume lists all binary actinide pnictides and chalcogenides treated in this subvolume.

Book Description

The joint NASA-ESA Cassini-Huygens mission is a splendid example of how international cooperation can produce a wealth of scientific return that could not be afforded by the programs of any partner alone. ESA contributed the Titan atmosphere entry probe and NASA the orbiter spacecraft, the launch, and operations. Various national agencies contributed to the payloads of both the orbiter and the entry probe. Cassini will return much more information than the Galileo mission. While Saturn is further from the Sun than Jupiter, with less illumination and a colder environment, Saturn’s weaker radiation belt permits longer periods of observation close to Saturn than were possible with Galileo at Jupiter. Cassini provides shorter period orbits, closer images of the rings and the atmosphere, and many more satellite encounters, in fact 44 encounters with Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, in the first four years in orbit. This greater number of observations provides a rich scientific bonanza for the remote sensing instruments on Cassini.

This book is the third and last volume of this compendium on the Cassini-Huygens mission. This volume describes the remote sensing investigations on the Cassini orbiter: radio science, radar, visible and near infrared spectroscopy, far infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and visible imagery. This book is of interest to all potential users of the Cassini-Huygens data, to those who wish to learn about the planned scientific return from the Cassini-Huygens mission, and those curious about the processes occurring on this most fascinating planet.

CAN'T HARDLY WAIT.......1999-01-24

It was overall a okay book. It was somewhat funny. But if you have seen the movie can't hardly wait don't buy the book it is word for word the same

It was a really fun book to read!.......1998-08-21

This book is really great and it really explains the movie and the characters in the movie. If you haven't seen the movie, it was great! And even if you have seen the movie you should read this book.

so good... I loved it........1998-07-17

This book was great! You're always hearing about what happened during the high school years, but never what happened after the graduation. You never hear about the intense plots, the funnies, the occasional tears. Not until this book anyway. It was great, and I loved it. The movie was pretty good too.

A great novelization of the coming-of-age movie.......1998-06-15

This book is really good as a novelization, and also contains things not found in the movie. I really recommend it to anyone that's seen Can't Hardly Wait
