military standards
Product standards and specifications for military or defense contractors, units, suppliers, etc. These standards sometimes become de facto standards within the civilian community.
A regular route for pickup of mixed loads from several suppliers. For example, instead of each of five suppliers sending a truckload per week to meet the weekly needs of the customer, one truck visits each of the suppliers on a daily basis before delivering to the customer's plant. Five truckloads per week are still shipped, but each truckload contains the daily requirement from each supplier. See: consolidation.
