About This Item
TS EN 14943 is a glossary standard that establishes common definitions for terms used in logistics and supply chain management. By covering transport as part of this wider field, it supports a shared vocabulary for planning, coordination, warehousing, distribution, and related management activities, helping organisations use logistics terminology consistently.
An alphabetical glossary for logistics language
The standard presents terms in strict alphabetical order rather than reorganising them by operational function. That structure makes it easier to locate a concept quickly and to read each definition on its own. In logistics, where physical flows, information flows, and management decisions are closely linked, consistent terminology is especially important across order handling, inventory, transport, materials handling, storage, and distribution.
Why terminology standards matter
A glossary standard does not prescribe how logistics processes are run; it fixes the meaning of the words used to describe them. In general technical context, logistics is concerned with managing materials, products, and related information to the right place, at the right time, and under suitable conditions. The value of EN 14943 lies in aligning language across organisations and disciplines, while explicitly treating logistics as a broad concept rather than assigning the terms to a single operational function.
