The logistic technical language is today gespickt with Anglizismen and abbreviations, which are not always opened directly. Besides several German Entsprechnungen often exist. This glossary defines and describes both English and German technical terms of logistics.

Available ton promise (ATP) characteristic of an customer-oriented logistics system, which is able to already confirm with incoming orders an obligatory date of delivery to the orderer. BREAK bulk POINT dt. point of sort. Logistic junction is split up where a large supply into partial deliveries/subsets which can be passed on individually. Colli unit load device in transport, German posting KolliConsolidation POINT dt. tie point. Logistic junction where several single supplies to a Gesamtlieferung to be arranged. Point of uncoupling (synonymous Decoupling POINT, Push/Pull Boundary) at the point of uncoupling two logistic control circuits meet one another: indeed customer-anonymous supply production usually in series of manufactured standard components (PUSH) and the order completion (PULL), released by customer order or other need signal (e.g. KANBAN). Physically the point of uncoupling in the logistic chain presents itself as the last camp, in which components are provided with stock still without order purchase. Right of the point of uncoupling all Fertigungsmaterial is to a customer order assigned, thus quasi "“sold"”. Roofridge in roofridge out or the stored products produced first is also first paged out - serves the avoidance of Truck load (FTL) full truck charge, i.e. economic transportation quantities (opposite: Less Than Truckload (LTL)). Just in Time production or supply at the moment the requirement. Products are stored no longer for a long time (intermediate), but supplied only to partial transportation quantities meeting demand. Just in Sequence the Just in Sequence concept (JIS) is an advancement of the Just in time thought. During the supply in the JIS procedure the supplier ensures not only for it that the necessary modules are delivered in time in the necessary quantity, but also that the sequence (Sequence) of the necessary modules is correct. Contract logistics execution and management of complex logistic parts of a business process by a Logistikdienstleister on the basis of a long-term contract. Less Than Truckload (LTL) transportation quantity, which constitutes no full truck charge and therefore is not economical. Logistic unit (English unit load) the logistic unit is formed by the summary of a defined goods quantity to a manipulatable unit (English Unitization). Ideally the logistic unit remains over the entire delivery chain away received without it in subsets being dissolved or into superordinate units be combined would have. In this case would apply: Packing unit = camp unit = order unit = unit load device = transportation unit = Verbrauchseinheit. A logistic unit formed favorably regarding the logistic total costs is designated English than Efficient unit load. The education of logistic units is the subject of packing logistics. Pick face dt. Kommissionierfach. Camp subject, out of which goods are taken in the case of the order composition. Postponement as late an variant formation as possible (synonym Late differenciation). Stick Keeping unit (SKU) dt. inventory unit, article on stock. SKU a clearly identifiable article in a camp is called. The SKU is the subject of the inventory update and - planning. The number of the SKUs increases, if in a camp instead of a standard article several variants of the article are held or the same article at several stock locations (central storage depot, Auslieferungsl¤ger etc.) is available. The desire a broad spectrum by article variants as close ones as possible at the customer to keep available, can lead to strong increasing of the SKU number. This is connected with a disproportionate rise of the existence, in particular by a increased need at safety stock amounts. Twenty foot equivalent unit (TEU) dt. standard container unit. With TEU the carrying capacity is marked by container ships. The English term comes of the measure the ISO standard container (20 ft x 8 ft x 8 ft). To unit load > see logistic EinheitVendor Managed Inventory (VMI) inventory update by the supplier.
