Cross-docking is the process of putting products straight onto outbound vehicles after they have been delivered to inbound vehicles. Cross docking is a supply chain technique that, in theory, eliminates the need for a warehouse.
When goods from incoming trucks are wheeled across the shipping dock and put straight onto departing trucks without entering a warehouse, this is an example of cross docking. With little to no handling or storage time, products from a supplier or production facility are supplied straight to a client or retail chain through the logistics process known as cross docking.
In essence, cross-docking eliminates the supply chain’s “storage” link. In order to continue the voyage, goods are directly reloaded onto outbound trucks or rail trains after being unloaded from a truck or railway car and sorted. Consolidating goods for the same destination into fewer transport trucks is simple.
The Global Cross docking logistics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Developing a cross-docking network design model under an uncertain environment.By reducing inventory holding, order packing, transportation expenses, and delivery times, cross-docking is a logistical concept that is vital to supply chain management.
We provide a mixed-integer model to optimise the placement and design of cross docks at the same time to reduce the overall transportation and operating expenses, taking these considerations into consideration as well as the significance of the congestion in cross docks.
In addition, we investigate a network of cross docks and consumers where two M/M/c queues have been constructed to describe operations of indoor trucks and outdoor trucks in each cross dock. The model integrates queuing theory for design elements. An actual example that demonstrated the effectiveness of the suggested model was also looked at in order to provide a flawless depiction for the model’s performance.
