Truck scheduling at zero-inventory cross docking terminals
چکیده انگلیسی

Handling freight at cross docking terminals constitutes a complex planning task which comprises several executive steps as shipments delivered by inbound trucks are to be unloaded, sorted according to their designated destinations, moved across the dock and finally loaded onto outbound trucks for an immediate delivery elsewhere in the distribution system. To enable an efficient synchronization of inbound and outbound flows, a careful planning of operations, e.g. by computerized scheduling procedures, becomes indispensable. This work treats a special truck scheduling problem arising in the (zero-inventory) cross docks of the food industry, where strict cooling requirements forbid an intermediate storage inside the terminal, so that all products are to be instantaneously loaded onto refrigerated outbound trucks. The problem is formalized such that different operational objectives, i.e. the flow time, processing time and tardiness of outbound trucks, are minimized. To solve the resulting truck scheduling problem suited exact and heuristic solution procedures are presented.
