Improving cross-docking operations for consumer goods sector using metaheuristics

“…In order to formulate the cross-docking problem as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model, this study considers that inbound trucks should be unloaded completely to leave the inbound dock; outbound trucks should be loaded completely to leave the outbound dock; the cross-docking platform considers no capacity limit for temporary storage; operational time for loading and unloading items is assumed constant, as well as the transfer time from inbound docks to outbound docks; information about inbound and outbound trucks and the number of items is known in advance. Based on the studies of [21] 4) ensures the transference of items with a relationship between inbound truck i and an outbound truck j. Constraint (5) guarantees that each inbound truck i is assigned to an inbound dock. Constraint (6) ensures that only one inbound truck is allocated to an inbound dock at a time.…”

Integrated cross-dock door assignment and truck scheduling with handling times

“…Variable unloading/loading times arise when the number and skill-level of workers assigned to each door are different. This is particularly relevant in applications where turnovers are very high (Amini et al 2014) and thus, there is a learning curve to be taken into account when unloading and loading. In addition, the time needed to transfer each commodity from an inbound door to an outbound door depends on the amount of commodity, the distance between doors and the material handling equipment used at these doors.…”
