In this paper, we study a problem central to crossdocking that aims to eliminate or minimize
storage and order picking activity using JIT scheduling. The problem is modelled naturally …

In this paper, a scheduling problem which allows a warehouse to function as a crossdock
where transit storage time for cargo is minimized according to Just in Time scheduling is …

Crossdocking studies have mostly been concerned with the physical layout of a crossdock
or on a single crossdock. In this work, we study a network of crossdocks taking into …

Cross docking is one of the options to reduce lead times and inventories and to improve
customer response time in supply chains. Cross-docking centres are dynamic environments …

This paper deals with the optimization of a cross-docking system. It is modeled as a three-
stage hybrid flowshop, in which shipments and orders are represented as batches. The first …

Cross-docking is a logistic solution bringing significant cost reductions and simplifying
operations of distribution centres. The success of this strategy relies on an efficient …

Cross-docking is a logistics strategy that minimizes the storage and picking functions of
conventional warehouses. The objective is to unload the cargo from inbound trucks and …

Cross-docking is an approach in inventory management which can reduce inventories, lead
times and customer response time. In this strategy, products and shipments are unloaded …

Cross-docking is a material handling and distribution technique in which products are
transferred directly from the receiving dock to the shipping dock, reducing the need for a …

The importance and applicability of cross-docking systems have grown rapidly in recent
years. As these systems play a key role, particularly, in distribution networks, the launch of …
