How It Helps Your Business English
Thirty logistics terms are set out in alphabetical order, each with a short definition in plain English and a sentence showing it at work: advanced shipment notice, backorder, bilateral contract, consignor and consignee, inbound and outbound logistics, lading, order picking, the Pareto principle, pooling, preferential rate and route optimization. A closing section lists further glossaries.
Work down the list a few terms at a time rather than in one sitting, reading each definition and then the example sentence that follows it. Say the example aloud to fix the term in a working context. Return to the page when a term appears in a shipping document or a supplier message, and use the closing list of glossaries when you meet a word the article does not cover.
