Summary:
The purpose of this paper is to make a brief overview of the definition of logistics beginning with its militaristic and economic origins. The word of logistics originates from the ancient Greece. Logistics as a business concept evolved only in the 1950s. This was mainly due to the increasing complexity of supplying one’s business with materials and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, calling for experts in the field who are called Supply Chain Logisticians.

The ELA introduced a set of Standards in logistics management, which form the foundation for the European Certification Board for Logistics (ECBL) to certify individuals who meet these Standards.

Theoretical Foundations of Logistics. 3. Terminology of Logistics
Summary:
The study is a linguistic investigation of the terms of the logistics. The most interesting and the most important terms are chosen from the above-mentioned branch and on the basis of their analysis a comparatively detailed characteristic is presented of the logistical terminology. Some basic problems treats in the first part, connected with the notion “term”. A structural characteristic is done of the logistic terms. Is treats the term formation in logistic. It is done in the three different ways: lexico-morphological, lexico-syntactical and lexico-semantical. Is done the analysis in the formation the terms of the logistic. The last part treats the problems of the logistical terminological system.
