Cross-docking truck scheduling with product unloading/loading constraints based on an improved particle swarm optimisation algorithm

Cross-docking is a very useful logistics technique that can substantially reduce distribution costs and improve customer satisfaction. A key problem in its success is truck scheduling, namely, decision on assignment and docking sequence of inbound/outbound trucks to receiving/shipping dock doors. Th...
