I would like to know the largest number of abbreviations that exist with their meaning in the field of procurement logistics or supply chain?

There are many terms and Jargons used in procurement field or any other field, so it is better to search in the "web search engines" to get best results.

Logistics is the most important for any trading or any business. Like back bone.
