Trucks Scheduling in a Multi-product Cross Docking System with Multiple Temporary Storages and Multiple Dock Doors
In order to reduce costs and increase efficiency of a supply chain system, cross docking is one of the most important strategies of warehousing for consolidation shipments from different suppliers to different customers. Products are collected from suppliers by inbound trucks and then moved to customers by outbound trucks through cross dock. Scheduling of trucks plays important role in the cros...
متن کاملTruck scheduling in a cross-dock system with multiple doors and uncertainty in availability of trucks
Aim of this study was investigating a truck scheduling problem with uncertainty in both inbound and outbound problems. Scheduling authorities at cross-dock should consider these uncertainties and propose a scheduling & sequencing plan which is robust against these uncertainties. As we know, trucks don’t necessarily assign to receiving or shipping doors and should wait a while till a proper dock...
متن کاملtruck sequencing and dock assignment in a cross-docking system
in a supply chain, cross-docking is one of the most innovative systems for ameliorating the operational performance at distribution centers. cross-docking is a logistics strategy in which freight is unloaded from inbound trucks and (almost) directly loaded into outbound trucks, with little or no storage in between, thus no inventory remains at the distribution center. in this paper, we consider...
متن کاملTrucks Scheduling to Reduce Delays in Multiple Cross-Docks Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
Cross docking is a logistics strategy that is now used by a large number of firms in the various industries. Cross docking effectively a significant reduction in transport costs, without increasing inventory and at the same time maintain the level of service to customers. It also can cross dock order to reduce cycle time, improve flexibility and responsiveness lead distribution network. In this...
متن کاملScheduling of trucks in cross-docking systems: a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm
Cross-docking is a logistics technique that minimizes the storage and order picking functions of a warehouse while still allowing it to serve its receiving and shipping functions. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for solving scheduling trucks in cross-docking problems. This algorithm comprises three components: an initial population generation method based on an...
