Hi Everybody,

In our company, one of the most asked questions our users asks us is "what is the signification of LN" and offcourse we have no answer.

So i suggest that we "create" :D an acceptable signification for these two letters :)

So feel free to make a proposal and if this point interests many persons we can add a poll to votes for the best alternative.

Some people already suggested it is for "last number". I do not hope so...

"Lost Nights" in honour of those who look after the system.

(1)
LN -> N = for discrete manuafacturer whereas (1, 2, 3, ... , N)
LX -> X like Process for process manufacturers.


(2)
first character from "Product Line"

last character of the 2 products, BaaN -> "N" -> "LN"
and Bepix -> "X" -> "LX"

Regards,

Kozure

Dont want to sound very drastic but..how about

Living Nightmare


sk

Most of people in my country said, LN stands for Looks Nice,
maightbe because of dashboards sessions and webtop.

Well i think that the proposal of trisulo is the first non ironic one. Fortunately we aren't LX users. how it should be difficult to find a name : )

I have found some other names like:

Logistics Need
Like New
Level of Noise :)

And some more here (http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?acronym=LN&string=exact&s=r&page=1)

- George

P.S. Medtun: By the way your link in the poll to this post does not work ;). please update it.

What do you think about Logistic Nerd ?

Laughably Nonfunctional?

In tribute to the many things that Baan is missing, doesn't take into account or just extremely outdated with..... :D

I think Ln means Licence.

Like Nobody

Listed In Nasdaq

Lost Nothing

Livng Never

For example, Last Name

LN means Lean baaN as per my knowledge.

LN - N from BaaN
LX - X from BPICS ( since ICS sounds like X)

I think it means Lean ERP.

Hi Friends,

The Baan Support has two products based on two product lines:

ERP LN : discrete industries

ERP LX : process industries

Line BaaN
Line BPCS (called B-PiX)

The 'Discrete Company' is a manufacturer that adds value to a product through a fabrication, assembly, machining, or molding process, that is typically scheduled in economic order quantities or on a lot-for-lot basis.
Discrete manufacturers emphasize the assembly of high quality engineered components or sub-assemblies into more valuable final product configurations, or the physical manipulation of discrete entities.

The 'Process industries' mainly employ manufacturing operations that convert highly variable raw materials into consistent quality finished goods. Emphasis is on continuous or batch mixing, reaction and separation of materials to produce other materials of higher value.
