چکیده مقاله:

The system of distribution of goods and services, along with other economic developments around the world, is rapidly evolving. In the world of distribution of goods, the main focus is on making distribution operations more effective. Due to the fact that the cross-dock has the advantage of removing intermediaries and reducing the space required for the warehouse, it is worth considering. Among the methods of cross-docking, the post-distribution method is important in terms of uncertainty. Due to the importance of the issue of the post-distribution method in cross-dock, this paper addressestheuncertaintyofdemandincross-docking. Forthispurpose, alinearprogrammingmodel has been developed for post-distribution cross-dock, and then solved an example by the use of the meta-heuristicwhalealgorithm. Afterthat, uncertaintyentersthemodelandtherobustcounterpart of the model present based on the robust optimization approach with using interval and polyhedral collective inductive uncertainty set. The results shows the model could control the demand uncertainty in distance zero until 20 percent and the model does not let the changing of demand efforts considerably on the scheduling of the cross-docking.

Addressing the Scheduling of Chemical Supply Chains under Demand Uncertainty

A multistage stochastic optimization model is presented to address the scheduling of supply chains with embedded multipurpose batch chemical plants under demand uncertainty. In order to overcome the numerical difficulties associated with the resulting large-scale stochastic mixed-integer-linear-programming (MILP) problem, an approximation strategy comprising two steps, and based on the resoluti...

Truck 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...

Analysis of different approaches to cross-dock truck scheduling with truck arrival time uncertainty

This paper studies scheduling of inbound trucks at the inbound doors of a cross-dock facility under truck arrival time uncertainty. Arrival time of an inbound truck is considered to be unknown. In particular, the cross-dock operator only acknowledges the arrival time window of each truck, i.e., the lower and upper bounds of any inbound truck’s arrival time. In absence of any additional informat...
