Arizona State University affiliation with the Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi)

全中心提案加入I/UCRC物流与配送（CELDi） 0839969亚利桑那州立大学；Jesus Villalobos亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）寻求作为I/UCRC工程物流与配送（CELDi）的额外站点加入。亚利桑那州立大学应该通过关注两个主要研究领域来补充CELDi的研究：(i)支持高效国际物流实践的发展和实施，（ii）进一步提高生产力，以及在区域行业中实现最先进的供应链和物流实践。亚利桑那州立大学的研究将有助于提高成本、质量和对日益全球化的区域工业基地的响应能力。通过提供前沿知识、工具、系统和基准机会，这一努力将集中于提高该行业的相对和绝对竞争力。亚利桑那州立大学的初步活动将集中在有效的国际物流实践，以及生产和供应链运营的生产力和成本改进。该中心将成为地区经济发展的催化剂，并将增加决定在物流和生产力相关领域攻读高等学位的学生人数。学生不仅可以直接接触到亚利桑那州立大学的研究项目，而且还有机会与来自其他机构的学生和研究人员互动，听取访问演讲者的演讲，并参与CELDi直接赞助的各种项目。该中心计划将本科生、女性和少数民族学生纳入研究团队。预计每个项目至少有一名本科生参与。亚利桑那州立大学对多样性有着明确的承诺。

Full center proposal to join the I/UCRC in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) 0839969 Arizona State University; Jesus Villalobos Arizona State University (ASU) seeks to join as an additional site the I/UCRC in Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi). ASU should complement CELDi research by focusing on two major areas of research: (i) supporting the development and implementation of efficient and effective International Logistics practices, and (ii) enabling further productivity improvements as well as state-of-art supply chain and logistics practices in the regional industry. Research housed by the ASU site will contribute to improvements in the cost, quality, and responsiveness of a regional industrial base that is increasingly global. This effort will focus on increasing the relative and absolute competitiveness of this industry, by providing access to leading-edge knowledge, tools, systems, and benchmarking opportunities. The initial activities at ASU will focus on efficient international logistics practices, as well as productivity and cost improvements in production and supply chain operations. The proposed center will be a catalyst for the regional economic development and also for increasing the number of students who decide to pursue advanced degrees in logistics and productivity related fields. Students will not only have direct access to research initiatives at ASU, but will also have the opportunity to interact with students and researchers from other institutions, listen to visiting speakers, and become involved in a variety of projects directly sponsored by CELDi. The center plans to include undergraduate, women and minority students in research teams. It is anticipated that every project will have at least one undergraduate student participating in it. ASU has a clear commitment to diversity.
