Benders decomposition uses a strategy of``learning from one's mistakes.''The aim of this
paper is to extend this strategy to a much larger class of problems. The key is to generalize …

In this paper, we present the research issues, the representation models, as well as the
methodological and algorithmic approaches that have been proposed for cross-docking …

Since the multidepot vehicle routing problem with time windows and three-dimensional
loading constraints (MDVRPTW-TDLC) is a multiconstraint and combinatorial optimization …

In today's competitive world, it is essential to provide a new method through which maximum
efficiency can be created in the production and supply cycle. In many production …

Supply chain management has recently renovated its strategy by implementing a
crossdocking scheme. Cross-docking is a calculated logistics strategy where freight emptied …

Cross-docking is a strategy to facilitate a persistent process from suppliers to the consumer
points, without long-term storage of products at a distribution warehouse. Products are …

The increasing development of the competitive market has forced organisations to make
great efforts in the processes of supply, production, and distribution to meet customer …

The notion of 'resource'plays an important role in the overall efficiency and performance of
most cross-docks. The processing time can often be described in terms of the resources …

The controllable processing times (CPTs) have many practical applications, enabling the
length of the job processing to vary within an interval flexibly with additional costs. In this …

Retail supply chains are intended to empower effectiveness, speed, and cost-savings,
guaranteeing that items get to the end client brilliantly, giving rise to the new logistic strategy …
