This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in July 2013 at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago, Chile. Organized by Dr. Alice E. Smith, Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Dr. Jorge F. Valenzuela, Professor and Chair of Industrial and Systems Engineering, both at Auburn University, the institute will focus on the transport and distribution of manufactured goods to customers, known as physical distribution systems. Managing distribution systems in globalized business environments is challenging due to the increasing complexity of production systems and supply networks, traditional efficiency concerns, quality, storage and transport aspects, and holistic approaches involving sustainability, security, and human factors. Thus, the modeling and design of physical distribution systems require a mastery of cutting edge technical tools and understanding of new approaches to design and operation. The PASI will provide participants with educational modules on various aspects of physical distribution systems, with an emphasis on multinational distribution systems at both the micro and macro levels. The micro level addresses such topics as warehousing, material handling, and facility layout while the macro level refers to facility location, supply networks, routing optimization, and collaborative logistics.This PASI brings together outstanding scholars and students from throughout the Americas to learn about many technical facets involved with complex distribution systems. It encompasses traditional small classroom experiences, hands-on group projects taken from actual distribution systems, and intensive field experiences. Knowledge will be disseminated widely through first hand contacts and through an open access web page of all educational materials and project outcomes. As such, it will benefit many other students and early career researchers in the fields of industrial engineering, systems engineering, operations research, operations management, applied mathematics and logistics. Additionally, the PASI will promote sustainable international collaborations among senior and junior researchers of different countries and regions.

泛美高级研究院(PASI)奖由美国国家科学基金会和能源部(DOE)共同支持，将于2013年7月在智利圣地亚哥的智利天主教大学举行。该研究所由奥本大学工业与系统工程教授Alice E.Smith博士和工业与系统工程教授兼主席Jorge F.Valenzuela博士组织，将专注于向客户运输和分销制成品，即所谓的物流系统。由于生产系统和供应网络日益复杂，传统的效率问题、质量、存储和运输方面的问题，以及涉及可持续性、安全性和人为因素的整体方法，在全球化的商业环境中管理分销系统是具有挑战性的。因此，物流系统的建模和设计需要掌握尖端技术工具，并了解设计和操作的新方法。PASI将为学员提供关于物流系统各个方面的教育模块，重点是微观和宏观层面的多国配送系统。微观层面涉及仓储、材料处理和设施布局等主题，而宏观层面涉及设施选址、供应网络、路线优化和协作物流。PASI汇聚了来自美洲各地的杰出学者和学生，学习涉及复杂分销系统的许多技术方面。它包括传统的小课堂体验，来自实际分配系统的动手小组项目，以及密集的现场体验。将通过第一手接触和开放获取所有教育材料和项目成果的网页，广泛传播知识。因此，它将使工业工程、系统工程、运筹学、运筹学、应用数学和物流领域的许多其他学生和早期职业研究人员受益。此外，PASI将促进不同国家和地区的高级和初级研究人员之间的可持续国际合作。
