GIB (system) ?? Explanation: Might it be anything to do with the Belgian retail group, GIB? This is a complete and utter guess (would you believe!) Apologies if the full link doesn't work. I can't get it either: http://emeraldinsight.com/Insight/viewContentItem.do?content... GIB, in Belgium, tested a new delivery system during the past year. ... Each day at 3.30 p.m., 18 trucks would leave the GIB warehouse with orders picked ... Do you know what type of product(s) the warehouse is storing? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-07-16 16:03:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe you could ask the client for an explanation... It seems to me it's either an in-house thing or a typo! |

The asker can choose another one that fits better. I don´t know! |

BMS Explanation: This might just be a typo for GTB (Gestion Technique Batiment) which translates as Building Management System (BMS) for which there are several entries in the Kudoz glossary. It is likely that a warehouse storing pharmaceutical products would have such a system. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestion_technique_de_bâtiment |
