Abstract:

This paper studies the inbound truck-to-door assignment problem at a cross-dock facility with controllable truck handling times. In particular, the handling time of a truck is discretely defined by the number of workers (or material handling equipment) assigned to a door. The cross-dock operator aims at minimizing the total labor cost by determining the number of workers allocated at each door as well as the truck-to-door assignment. The authors first discuss a branch-and-price method for the problem of interest. Then, two evolutionary heuristic methods are discussed. Numerical studies are conducted to compare the branch-and-price method to the evolutionary heuristics.
