I wouldn't.  I bet it was a historical accident, based on who attended
some meeting after lunch.

Are these industries or departments of a business or a combination
of both?  (E.g. Insurance vs Tourism vs Statistics.)
No manufacturing? 
D6  Finance vs D14  Accounting, Auditing, Reg. & Fin. Services?
Material Management in automotive supply chains encompasses
procurement of direct materials.
Etc.

It's a hodgepodge.  (Not that most categorization schemes aren't...)

Sorry to be so negative,
Bob Haugen

>From the UN/CEFACT "About UN/CEFACT", I found following structure for the
"development groups"
(http://www.unece.org/cefact/knowlg/structur/index.htm):

D1  Material Management
D2  Purchasing
D4  Transport
D5  Customs and Taxation
D6  Finance
D8  Statistics
D9  Insurance
D10  Travel, Tourism And Leisure (TT&L)
D11  Healthcare
D12  Social Security, Employment & Education
D13  Directory & Management Support Services
D14  Accounting, Auditing, Reg. & Fin. Services
D15  Environmental Management & Safety (EMS)

The numbering scheme was taken directly from the organization chart and is
non sequential.  Groups D3 and D7 are not on the chart.

This may be an appropriate process categorization scheme for ebXML.  It
would be interesting to findout if they (UN/CEFACT) would recommend the same
categorization.
