Transportation in forest industry is a resource-intensive operation and represents a great challenge for logistic planners. In the Argentinean Northeast (NEA) region, forest production represents the main economic activity, so enhancing efficiency in the transportation operation will imply substantial improvements for this economy. In this work, the elements that characterize the log transport from the supply nodes to the demand nodes for the Argentinean case are presented. Several contributions and the obtained results are discussed and future research lines are proposed.
