Abstract
Cross docking is a practice in logistics with the main operations of goods flow directly from receiving to the shipping docks without stopping or being put away into storage. It is a simple concept to talk about, but a challenging one to implement. So far, many different approaches have been followed in order to improve the efficiency of a cross docking system. However, as the complexity increases, the use of computational intelligence (CI) in those problems is becoming a unique tool of imperative value. In this paper, different CI methods, such as Tabu search, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, and fuzzy logic. The key issues in implementing the proposed approaches are discussed, and finally the open questions are highlighted.
