A group of academic institutions and industry are planning a National Center of Logistics and Supply Chain Technology. The initiative is being jointly led by Riverside Community College District in California and Sinclair Community College in Ohio. Participating partners include (a) in California the Distribution Management Association of Southern California, Cardinal Health Systems, and Ozburn-Hessey Logistics; and (b) in Ohio ABX Air, Boeing, DAU (Defense Acquisition University), and Honda. The objective is to develop a five-year strategic plan for a National Center of Logistics and Supply Chain Management to include (a) mission and vision, (b) organizational structure, (c) partnerships and linkages to other initiatives, (c) student recruitment strategies, (d) faculty development strategies, (e) outreach and dissemination methods, and (f) evaluation criteria and methodology. The National Center of Logistics and Supply Chain Technology is being planned to develop high-quality programs, curricula, and faculty professional development in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines of (1) mathematics: (i.e. operations research, statistics); (2) technology: (i.e. Global Positioning Systems, Radio Frequency Identification); and (3) engineering (i.e. human-machine interface, automated systems design) Intellectual Merit: Currently, many initiatives are being designed to create and make available information on logistics educational programs, teaching materials, and jobs. These efforts accomplish an important mission within a local area or industry; however, they are disparate and localized. This planning project is creating a blueprint for a national center designed to standardize creation and dissemination of logistics education, standards, and materials. It is melding military and private logistics methods for increased efficiency and effectiveness for both sectors. Broader Impacts: The development of a national center for logistics and supply-chain management addresses two critical issues. First, the logistics and supply chain management are important industries, which offer career ladders to family-supporting jobs. Employment in logistics and support industries is growing and projected to add 969,000 jobs by 2030. Second, the Department of Defense is on the verge of a retirement-driven talent crisis. By 2015, 54% of the federal acquisition workforce will retire. The development of a national center provides a mechanism to support the growth and replacement of talent in this vital economic sector.

一些学术机构和行业正在计划建立一个国家物流和供应链技术中心。该倡议由加州的滨江社区学院区和俄亥俄州的辛克莱社区学院共同领导。参与的合作伙伴包括（a）在加州的南加州分销管理协会、Cardinal Health Systems和Ozburn-Hessey Logistics;（B）在俄亥俄州的ABX Air、波音、DAU（国防采购大学）和本田。 目标是为国家物流和供应链管理中心制定一项五年战略计划，其中包括：（a）使命和愿景;（B）组织结构;（c）伙伴关系和与其他举措的联系;（c）学生招聘战略;（d）教师发展战略;（e）外联和传播方法;（f）评价标准和方法。物流和供应链技术的国家中心正在计划开发高质量的计划，课程和教师专业发展的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科（1）数学：（即运筹学、统计学）;（2）技术：（即全球定位系统、无线电频率识别）;以及（3）工程（即人机界面、自动化系统设计）知识专长：目前，许多倡议正在设计，以创建和提供有关物流教育计划，教学材料和工作的信息。这些努力在局部区域或行业内完成重要的使命;然而，它们是不同的和局部的。该规划项目正在为一个旨在规范物流教育、标准和材料的创建和传播的国家中心创建蓝图。它正在融合军事和私营后勤方法，以提高这两个部门的效率和效力。更广泛的影响：国家物流和供应链管理中心的发展解决了两个关键问题。首先，物流和供应链管理是重要的行业，为家庭支持工作提供了职业阶梯。物流和支持行业的就业正在增长，预计到2030年将增加969，000个工作岗位。其次，国防部正处于退休驱动的人才危机的边缘。到2015年，54%的联邦收购工作人员将退休。国家中心的发展提供了一种机制，以支持这一重要经济部门的人才增长和更替。
