About Us | Contact Us | Mission | Bylaws

The Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) is a multi-university, multi-disciplinary National Science Foundation-sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC). Research endeavors are driven and sponsored by representatives from a broad range of member organizations, including manufacturing, maintenance, distribution, transportation, information technology, and consulting. Our industrial partners serve as the "thought leaders" with strong ongoing financial commitment to logistics research. This partnership between academic institutions and industry represents the effective integration of private and public sectors to enhance the United States' competitive edge in the global marketplace. CELDi emerged in 2001 from the Material Handling Research Center (founded in 1982) and The Logistics Institute (est. 1994) to provide integrated solutions to logistics problems, through research related to modeling, analysis, and intelligent-systems technologies.
