This U.S.- Chile visit proposal will support one senior researcher, one graduate student, and one undergraduate from Arizona State University, under the direction of Dr. Jesus R. Villalobos, on two visits to Chile during 2011. The primary goal of these visits is to refine collaborations on the development of a research framework for international supply chains of perishable commodities between investigators from Arizona State University and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso in Chile (PUCV). The PI and the visiting students will participate in work sessions with Drs. Rosa Guadalupe Gonzalez Ramirez, Pablo Miranda Gonzalez, and José Ceroni Díaz, from The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, all with strong expertise in Port Operations and Management. The students will extend or compare their current research approaches to include considerations of Chilean ports and supply chains. The impact of port service variability is especially important in the supply chains for perishable commodities, which are of great importance in the commerce between Chile and the United States. One of the main objectives of these visits is to set the analytical framework to incorporate perishability into supply chain decision. In particular, the research team plan to develop a methodology for the design of port operations that will best serve the shippers of these types of commodities.This collaboration will be a catalyst for regional commercial development and will form an initial core of US and Chilean researchers that will expand to researchers from other Latin American countries over time. Additionally, the proposed activities will strengthen the material of undergraduate and graduate courses that address theoretical and practical issues in port logistics, and supply chain planning and management. It is believed that the resulting collaboration will also increase the number of students obtaining advanced degrees in logistics.

这个美国-智利访问计划将支持亚利桑那州立大学的一名高级研究员、一名研究生和一名本科生，由Jesus R. Villalobos，2011年两次访问智利。这些访问的主要目标是完善亚利桑那州立大学和智利瓦尔帕莱索天主教大学（PUCV）研究人员之间在制定易腐商品国际供应链研究框架方面的合作。PI和访问学生将与来自Valparaíso的Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso的Rosa Guadaluca Gonzalez Ramirez，巴勃罗米兰达Gonzalez和José Ceroni Díaz博士一起参加工作会议，他们都具有港口运营和管理方面的专业知识。学生将扩展或比较他们目前的研究方法，包括智利港口和供应链的考虑。 港口服务可变性的影响在易腐商品的供应链中尤其重要，而易腐商品在智利和美国之间的商业中非常重要。 这些访问的主要目标之一是建立分析框架，将易腐性纳入供应链决策。 特别是，该研究团队计划开发一种方法，用于设计港口运营，以最好地为这些商品的托运人服务。这种合作将成为区域商业发展的催化剂，并将形成美国和智利研究人员的初始核心，随着时间的推移，将扩展到其他拉丁美洲国家的研究人员。 此外，拟议的活动将加强本科生和研究生课程的材料，这些课程涉及港口物流以及供应链规划和管理方面的理论和实践问题。 据信，由此产生的合作也将增加获得物流高级学位的学生人数。 该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室美洲计划和工程局工业创新和伙伴关系司支持。
