Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks | | French term or phrase: abbreviation: IP | Don't have much to go on. From a document describing where sales come from in a body shop:
PR : 63 % environ, dont 18 à 20 % d’IP …
PR in this case = pièces de rechange |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseTony M: 1:23pm Apr 10, 2008: I suspect it must mean either manufacturer's parts, or the reverse, generic / 3rd party parts — but I can't for the life of me imagine what the letters IP might actually stand for...
Andrew Bruch: 1:52pm Apr 10, 2008: Ingredients Peintures.... - A colleague suggested this as the shop also has a substantial paint business. I'm a little unsure if paint ingredients would be included in a list of spare parts... but it makes a certain sense, otherwise I'd be all for going with Drmanu49's brilliant finding. Thoughts anyone?
