The NU ProLog Lab deals with managerial problems raised by production, inventory and distribution; all these activities comprised by the general term logistic systems. In systems of this type, items are produced at one or more factories, shipped to warehouses for intermediate storage and subsequently shipped to retailer outlets. Consequently, efficient production and distribution strategies that reduce total costs and improve service level must take into account the interactions of the various levels in the supply chain.

Thus, research and industrial projects at the ProLog Lab focus on specfic issues such as inventory management, production planning, and distribution problems as well as the integration of these indivdual problems in order to determine strategies which are beneficial to the enterprise as a whole.
