I/UCRC: Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution - Phase 2 Missouri Research Site

该提案要求为密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（MU）提供第二阶段资金，以保持物流与配送卓越中心（CELDi）的活跃站点。卓越的物流和配送中心（CELDi）是一家以大学为基础的企业，为我们的成员组织提供卓越的物流和配送创新解决方案。CELDi成立于2002年，随着物流和配送成为美国经济的主导部门，MU研究网站在CELDi作为智囊团和该领域研究议程的驱动力方面具有独特的优势。在这样做的过程中，MU的研究人员正在开发新的方法来解决物流和配送领域的关键业务问题，并将其应用于成员组织经常遇到的现实问题。MU在研究领域有着非常成功的记录，包括CELDi所涉及的一系列主题：物流，供应链和分销/生产系统。在解决这些领域的研究问题时，CELDi成员和更广泛的学术界将受益于MU研究人员的智力贡献。MU在参与的组织中产生了广泛的影响。MU致力于多元化的教师代表性和多元化的学生群体的包容性，并将在未来五年内更积极地追求这些多样性的努力。MU与各种公司和政府机构合作，使这些组织能够盈利，并保持人们在他们的地区就业。MU还通过其研究对劳动人民的生活产生了影响，这些研究为人们提供了更好和更健康的工作方式。随着MU研究网站在未来五年的扩展，它将继续看到其研究在广泛的组织中产生广泛而有意义的影响。

The proposal requests Phase II funding for the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) to remain an active site in the Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi). The Center for Excellence in Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) is university-based enterprise providing innovative solutions for logistics and distribution excellence with our member organizations. CELDi was founded in 2002, with MU joining as a research site in 2008 As logistics and distribution become a dominant sector of the U.S. economy, the MU research site is uniquely positioned to contribute to CELDi's ability to serve as a think tank and as a driver of the research agenda in the field. In doing so, MU's researchers are developing new approaches to key business problems in the logistics and distribution area and applying them to real-world problems that are experienced by the member organizations on a frequent basis. MU has a highly successful track record in research areas which comprise the range of topics addressed by CELDi: Logistics, Supply Chain, and Distribution / Production Systems. In addressing research issues in these areas, members of CELDi and the broader academic community will reap the benefits of intellectual contribution of MU researchers. MU has achieved broad impact across the spectrum of organizations that have participated. MU is committed to a diverse faculty representation and to the inclusion of a diverse student population, and will more aggressively pursue these diversity efforts over the next five years. MU works with various companies and government agencies so these organizations are able to operate profitably and keep people employed in their region. MU has also had an impact on the lives of working people through its research which results in better and healthier ways for people to work productively. As the MU research site expands over the next five years, it will continue to see broad and meaningful impacts of its research in a wide range of organizations.
