Usually, several departments of a company are involved in the process of terminology establishment. The formation of terms can be consistent within one department, but at the same time in other departments or different company sites the formation is different.
The use or non use of certain terms has already been widely discussed in your company. Two months later no person involved remembers exactly, what had been decided, and especially why that particular term had been selected .
The decisions made during the standardization process should be set down as rules in a guideline. Thus, these rules can be used whenever there is the need to form new terms.
For almost seven years, we have been supporting companies in drafting these rules and we would also be happy to help you in standardizing your terminology.
