Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Material Handling/Logistics Institute

该奖项提供为期一年的延期资金，以利用成功，并通过佐治亚理工学院材料处理/物流研究所的工业/大学合作研究中心帮助扩大对其他美国制造业的影响。持续的资金将支持中心的基础研究项目。中心将继续开展研究活动，通过几个主要的核心基础研究活动，推动对物流的最新理解：1)物流网络（包括供应链、运输和物料搬运网络）；2)物流环境（包括城市、农村、国际物流与人体工程学、物流环境问题）；3)物流信息与决策技术（包括物流信息系统和计算物流）。此外，该中心将继续与公司成员合作开发试验台研究项目，以进行概念验证实施和原型设计。另外还为一名女大学生提供了额外的资金，用于研究与工程存储区域相关的两个问题：1)由于其独特的用途，应该在工作中心内的特定工作站附近聚集的组件的位置分配，以及2)存储在多个工作中心的组件焦点的通用用途。

EEC-9521984 Nemhauser This award provides funding for a one year extension to capitalize on the success and help expand the impact to other U.S. manufacturing industries through the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Material Handling/Logistics Institute at Georgia Institute of Technology. The continuing funding will support the basic research program in the Center. The Center will continue to develop research activities and to advance the state-of-the-art understandings on Logistics through several major core fundamental research activities: 1) Logistics networks (including supply chain, transportation, and material handling networks); 2) Logistics environments (including urban, rural, and international logistics and ergonomics, and environmental issues of logistics); 3) Logistics information and decision technology (including logistics information systems and computational logistics). In addition, the Center will continue to develop testbed research projects in cooperation with its company members to conduct the proof-of- concept implementation and prototyping. Additional funding is provided for a woman undergraduate student to work on two problems related to engineered storage areas: 1) location assignment for components that should be clustered near specific workstations within a workcenter due to their unique usage, and 2) commonality of usage for a component focus stored in multiple workcenters.
