Cross-docking is a logistics strategy in which freight is unloaded from inbound vehicles and
(almost) directly loaded into outbound vehicles, with little or no storage in between. This …

This paper studies inbound and outbound truck sequencing for cross docking operations
with the objective to minimize total operation time (aka makespan) or equivalently to …

Cross-docking plays an important role in supply chain and can reduce delivery lead times,
inventory holding and transportation costs. However, the advantages of cross-docking would …

Recently, crossdocking techniques have been successfully applied in responsive supply
chain management. However, most researches focused on physical layout of a crossdock …

Crossdocking is defined as an operational strategy that moves items through consolidation
centers or cross docks without putting them into storage. As the need to move inventory …

Crossdocking is a distribution strategy in which distribution centers operate as transfer
points to harmonize the continuous physical flow through supply chain with the least …

The aim of this book is to provide a collection of chapters which show the latest
developments in decision-making for supply chain integration. The chapters together …

We study a multiple crossdocks problem with supplier and customer time windows, where
any violation of time windows will incur a penalty cost and the flows through the crossdock …

We consider a logistic planning problem for simultaneous optimization of the storage and
the delivery. This problem arises in the consolidate shipment using an intermediate storage …

The objective of this thesis is to develop mathematical models for locating cross-docks in a
supply chain. Cross-docking is a strategy which can help consolidate the goods in the …
