truck sequencing and dock assignment in a cross-docking system

چکیده
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 the scheduling problem of inbound and outbound trucks with multiple dock doors, which the aim is to minimize the makespan. in this research, a mathematical model is derived to find the optimal solution. also a simulated annealing algorithm is adapted to find near optimal solution, as the mathematical model will not be applicable for large scale problems. numerical examples are presented in order to specify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in comparison with mathematical model.

متن کاملTrucks 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 کاملAdvances in Truck Scheduling at a Cross Dock Facility
In this paper the authors deal with the scheduling of inbound and outbound trucks to the available inbound and outbound doors at a cross dock facility. They assume that all trucks served at the facility need to meet several deadlines for deliveries and pick-ups and thus request a departure time window from the facility, penalizing the facility operator, on a unit of time basis, if that deadline...
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 کاملA Bi-Objective Green Truck Routing and Scheduling Problem in a Cross Dock with the Learning Effect
We present a bi-objective model for a green truck scheduling and routing problem at a cross-docking system. This model determines three key decisions at the cross dock: (1) defining a sequence and schedule of inbound trucks at the receiving door, (2) specifying a sequence and a schedule of outbound trucks at the shipping door, and (3) determining the routes of the outbound truck while serving c...
