Heuristics for Truck Scheduling at Cross Docking Terminals
complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Cross-docking is a logistics management concept that has been gaining global recognition in less-than-truckload logistics industries and retail firms. In cross-docking terminals, shipments are unloaded from inbound trucks at strip doors, consolidated insider cross-docks acco...
متن کاملThe truck scheduling problem at cross-docking terminals
Cross docking is a warehouse management concept in which items delivered to a warehouse by inbound trucks are immediately sorted out, reorganized based on customer demands and loaded into outbound trucks for delivery to customers, without requiring excessive inventory at the warehouse. Compared to traditional warehousing, the storage as well as the length of the stay of a product in the warehou...
متن کاملCross-docking Operation Scheduling: Truck Arrivals, Shop-Floor Activities and Truck Departures
Cross-docking is a relatively new logistic strategy which seeks to make economies in transportation, decrease lead time and reduce inventory. The main principle is to unload, sort, consolidate and transfer delivered packages from inbound trucks to outbound trucks, with a minimum of storage or treatment in between. Two key issues associated to this field are the truck scheduling and the shop-flo...
متن کاملTruck scheduling problem in a cross-docking system with release time constraint
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 study, we consider...
متن کاملNew Approaches in Metaheuristics to Solve the Truck Scheduling Problem in a Cross-docking Center
Nowadays, cross-docking is one of the main concepts in supply chain management in which products received to a distribution center by inbound trucks which are directly to lead into outbound trucks with a minimum handling and storage costs as the main cost of a cross-docking system. According to the literature, several metaheuristics and heuristics are attempted to solve this optimization model....
