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，使其继续作为物流和配送卓越中心(CELDi)的活跃地点。物流配送卓越中心(CELDi)是一家以大学为基础的企业，与我们的成员组织一起为物流和配送卓越提供创新的解决方案。CELDi成立于2002年，2008年随着物流和配送成为美国经济的主导部门，MU作为研究网站加入，MU研究网站具有独特的地位，有助于CELDi作为智囊团和该领域研究议程的推动者。在这样做的过程中，墨尔本大学的研究人员正在开发解决物流和配送领域关键业务问题的新方法，并将其应用于成员组织经常遇到的现实问题。MU在物流、供应链和分销/生产系统等研究领域有着非常成功的记录，这些领域包括CELDI解决的一系列主题。在解决这些领域的研究问题时，CELDI的成员和更广泛的学术界将受益于墨尔本大学研究人员的智力贡献。MU在参与的各种组织中取得了广泛的影响。墨尔本大学致力于多元化的教师代表和多元化的学生群体，并将在未来五年更加积极地追求这些多元化的努力。MU与各种公司和政府机构合作，因此这些组织能够盈利运营，并在他们所在的地区留住员工。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、更健康的工作方式。随着墨尔本大学研究网站在未来五年的扩展，它将继续在广泛的组织中看到其研究的广泛和有意义的影响。

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.
