This U.S.- Chile visit proposal will support one senior researcher, one graduate student, and one undergraduate from Arizona State University, under the direction of Dr. Jesus R. Villalobos, on two visits to Chile during 2011. The primary goal of these visits is to refine collaborations on the development of a research framework for international supply chains of perishable commodities between investigators from Arizona State University and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso in Chile (PUCV). The PI and the visiting students will participate in work sessions with Drs. Rosa Guadalupe Gonzalez Ramirez, Pablo Miranda Gonzalez, and José Ceroni Díaz, from The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, all with strong expertise in Port Operations and Management. The students will extend or compare their current research approaches to include considerations of Chilean ports and supply chains. The impact of port service variability is especially important in the supply chains for perishable commodities, which are of great importance in the commerce between Chile and the United States. One of the main objectives of these visits is to set the analytical framework to incorporate perishability into supply chain decision. In particular, the research team plan to develop a methodology for the design of port operations that will best serve the shippers of these types of commodities.This collaboration will be a catalyst for regional commercial development and will form an initial core of US and Chilean researchers that will expand to researchers from other Latin American countries over time. Additionally, the proposed activities will strengthen the material of undergraduate and graduate courses that address theoretical and practical issues in port logistics, and supply chain planning and management. It is believed that the resulting collaboration will also increase the number of students obtaining advanced degrees in logistics.

这项美国-智利访问提案将支持亚利桑那州立大学的一名高级研究员、一名研究生和一名本科生在 Jesus R. Villalobos 博士的指导下于 2011 年两次访问智利。这些访问的主要目标是亚利桑那州立大学和智利瓦尔帕莱索天主教大学 (PUCV) 的研究人员和来访者之间在开发易腐烂商品国际供应链研究框架方面完善合作。学生们将参加来自瓦尔帕莱索天主教大学的 Rosa Guadalupe Gonzalez Ramirez 博士、Pablo Miranda Gonzalez 博士和 José Ceroni Díaz 博士的工作会议，他们都在港口运营和管理方面拥有丰富的专业知识。学生们将扩展或比较他们当前的研究。考虑智利港口和供应链的方法 港口服务变化的影响在易腐烂商品的供应链中尤其重要，这对于这些访问的主要目标之一是建立将易腐烂性纳入供应链决策的分析框架，特别是，研究小组计划开发一种港口运营设计方法。最好地为这些类型的商品的托运人服务。这种合作将成为区域商业发展的催化剂，并将形成美国和智利研究人员的初步核心，随着时间的推移，这些活动将扩展到其他拉丁美洲国家的拟议研究人员。加强本科生和研究生课程的理论和实践材料据信，由此产生的合作也将增加获得物流高级学位的学生数量。该奖项得到了国际科学与工程办公室和美洲项目的支持。工程局工业创新与合作司。
