Truck scheduling optimization in the logistics of crossdocking by Shakeri, Mojtaba

“…As the mathematical approach is impractical for solving real size problem instances, sub-optimal (heuristic) algorithms are developed alternatively. The first step addresses the feasibility of the truck scheduling problem by proposing a two-phase heuristic algorithm where in the first phase, a dependency ranking search (DRS) heuristic is deployed to construct a feasible sequence of trucks for the assignment to dock doors and in the second phase, a door fitness (DF) heuristic is implemented to assign each sequenced truck to a proper dock door, subject to a limited number of forklifts, such that significant savings in the total crossdocking operation time are achieved. …”
