French term

GP

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This is a corporate abbreviation, which seems to refer to an executive unit of a large multinational corporation. The context is an email message in which the writer complains, "Il y quand meme un gros probleme de communications. Nous n'avons eu en GP aun mail depuis le 10/12....".

Would what GP refer to?

Thank in advance!

always the same problem with any corporate term, is that it is company-specific, and you can't know without the company's context ... above all in an in-house email ! sorry.

Gestion previsionnelle=Provisional Management Policy

Just a thought...
Example: La gestion prévisionnelle (GP)
Suite à l'acceptation du devis par le client, la définition complète du chantier peut être importée directement de l'étude de prix ou bien ressaisie. Le responsable du chantier dispose des outils nécessaires pour adapter l'étude initiale en fonction de son propre savoir faire et du contexte locale au chantier : - choix des modes de production, - choix des fournisseurs/sous-traitants, - choix des horaires, - aménagement du calendrier d'exécution.

or rather: Provisional Management Unit, if this is a unit we are talking about
Peer comment(s):

agree Kerensa Cracknell : I agree that it could be 'gestion prévisionnelle' but the translation of 'prévisionnel(le)' is not 'provisional' but rather 'projected' - 'gestion prévisionnelle' translates as 'management planning' in the GDT.

Yes, you are right, thank you, Kerensa!
