This grant is to support the organization of a symposium on the design, analysis and modeling of low carbon footprint supply chains. The symposium will be held over two days in the fall of 2010 at the headquarters of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Symposium will bring together researchers with backgrounds in Supply Chain Management, Energy, the Environment, Economics, and Public Policy, among others. It will also involve representatives from governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and industry. Although there is growing interest in industry in minimizing the carbon footprint of supply chains, the research community, particularly in supply chain and operations management, has been noticeably absent from the discussion. Some of the questions that will be addressed in the symposium include:1)How should the carbon footprint of a supply chain be measured and how should it be allocated across the participating firms and across products2)How would various types of regulation and environmental policies affect the design and operation of supply chains? 3)Is it possible to reconcile the needs of cost efficiency, customer responsiveness, system reliability and lower carbon emissions? 4)What analytical methods, computational tools, and data are needed to support the design, planning, and coordination of low carbon emission supply chains?5)How should products be redesigned to support low carbon emission supply chains?6)What data are needed to support the monitoring and analysis of supply chain carbon footprints? Who should collect the data and who should pay for its collection? 7)What impact would product carbon labeling have on consumer choices? What impact would such choices have on decisions made by suppliers? If successful, the symposium will accomplish the following objectives:1)It will create greater awareness of issues surrounding carbon footprint, energy efficiency, and the supply chain.2)It will support the development of a research community that draws from different disciplines around these issues and will support this community in articulating a research agenda. 3)It will encourage collaborations between academic researchers, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry in the design, analysis and modeling of low carbon footprint supply chains.

这笔赠款是为了支持有关低碳足迹供应链的设计，分析和建模的组织。该研讨会将于2010年秋天在国家科学基金会（NSF）的总部举行两天。该研讨会将使研究人员在供应链管理，能源，环境，经济学和公共政策等方面具有背景。它还将涉及政府机构，非营利组织和行业的代表。尽管对供应链的碳足迹的碳足迹越来越浓厚，但研究界，尤其是在供应链和运营管理方面的研究界，讨论中没有明显的讨论。研讨会中将解决的一些问题包括：1）应如何衡量供应链的碳足迹，以及如何在参与的公司和产品中分配它如何分配，2）各种类型的法规和环境政策将如何影响供应链的设计和操作？ 3）是否可以调和成本效率，客户响应能力，系统可靠性和较低碳排放的需求？ 4）需要哪些分析方法，计算工具和数据来支持低碳排放供应链的设计，计划和协调？5）如何重新设计产品以支持低碳排放供应链？6）需要哪些数据支持供应链碳足迹的监视和分析？ 谁应该收集数据，谁应该为其收集付费？ 7）产品碳标签对消费者选择有何影响？ 这些选择会对供应商做出的决策产生什么影响？ 如果成功的话，研讨会将实现以下目标：1）它将提高人们对围绕碳足迹，能源效率和供应链的问题的认识。2）它将支持开发一个研究社区，该研究社区从围绕这些学科的不同学科中获取的研究社区问题并将支持该社区表达研究议程。 3）它将鼓励学术研究人员，政府机构，非政府组织以及低碳足迹供应链的设计，分析和建模之间的合作。
