Abstract

 Synchronization of all partners along a supply chain logistics system is one of the challenges in most of the business operations. In this paper, we present a brief literature review of cross-docking approaches for supply chain logistics problem. On describing the problem, we formulate the supply chain logistics problem as a truck sequencing problem to minimize the discrepancies of operation times of inbound and outbound trucks. The problem is decomposed in two sub-problems as inbound and outbound parts as a solution strategy.
