        This paper studies multiple cross-dockings where the loads are transferred from origins (suppliers) to destinations (customers) through cross-docking facilities. Products are no longer stored in intermediate depots and incoming shipments are consolidated based on custom چکیده کامل
        This paper studies multiple cross-dockings where the loads are transferred from origins (suppliers) to destinations (customers) through cross-docking facilities. Products are no longer stored in intermediate depots and incoming shipments are consolidated based on customer demands and immediately delivered to them to their destinations. In this paper, each cross-docking has a covering radius that customers can be served by at least one cross-docking provided. In addition, this paper considers the breakdown of trucks. We present a two-stage model for the location of cross-docking centers and scheduling inbound and outbound trucks in multiple cross-dockings.We work on minimizing the transportation cost in a network by loading trucks in the supplier locations and route them to the customers via cross-docking facilities. The objective, in the first stage, is to minimize transportation cost of delivering products from suppliers to open cross-docks and cross-docks to the customers; in the second-stage, the objective is to minimize the makespans of open cross-dockings and the total weighted summation of completion time. Due to the difficulty of obtaining the optimum solution tomedium- and large-scale problems, we ‌propose four types of metaheuristic algorithms, i.e., genetic, simulated annealing, differential evolution, and hybrid algorithms.The result showed that simulated annealing is the best algorithm between the four algorithms. پرونده مقاله

        2 - Presenting a Mathematical Programming Model for Routing and Scheduling of Cross-Dock and Transportation in Green Reverse Logistics Network of COVID-19 Vaccines

        Cross-docking is the practice of unloading Coronavirus vaccines from inbound delivery vehicles and loading them directly onto outbound vehicles. Cross-docking can streamline supply chains and help them move Coronavirus vaccines to pharmacies faster and more efficiently چکیده کامل
        Cross-docking is the practice of unloading Coronavirus vaccines from inbound delivery vehicles and loading them directly onto outbound vehicles. Cross-docking can streamline supply chains and help them move Coronavirus vaccines to pharmacies faster and more efficiently by eliminating or minimizing warehouse storage costs, space requirements, and inventory handling. Regarding their short shelf-life, the movement of Coronavirus vaccine to cross-dock and their freight scheduling is of great importance. Achieving the goals of green logistics in order to reduce fuel consumption and emission of pollutants has been considered in this study. Accordingly, the present study developed a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for routing and scheduling of cross-dock and transportation in green reverse logistics network of Coronavirus vaccines. The model was multi-product and multi-level and focused on minimizing the logistics network costs to increase efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and pollution, maximizing the consumption value of delivered Coronavirus vaccines and minimizing risk of injection complication due to Coronavirus vaccines corruption. Considering cost minimization (i.e., earliness and tardiness penalty costs of pharmacies order delivery, cost of fuel consumption and environmental pollution caused by outbound vehicles crossover, the inventory holding costs at the temporary storage area of the cross-dock and costs of crossover and use of outbound vehicles) as well as uncertainty in pharmacies demand for Coronavirus vaccines, the model was an NP-hard problem. In this model, the problem-solving time increased exponentially according to the problem dimensions; hence, this study proposed an efficient method using the NSGA II algorithm. پرونده مقاله

        3 - Designing a multi-objective nonlinear cross-docking location allocation model using genetic algorithm

        In this study, a cross-docking system is designed at strategic and tactical levels. For making the strategic decisions, a multi-objective nonlinear location allocation model for cross-docks is presented based on a distri-bution location allocation model by Andreas Klose چکیده کامل
        In this study, a cross-docking system is designed at strategic and tactical levels. For making the strategic decisions, a multi-objective nonlinear location allocation model for cross-docks is presented based on a distri-bution location allocation model by Andreas Klose and Andreas Drexl. The model is further developed to in-clude the whole supply chain members and the objective functions are weighted by implementing AHP. A ge-netic algorithm solution is designed for sample cross-dock location allocation problems. In the tactical stage, model was further simulated under two different distribution strategies to decide on the tactical parameters. As an example, the performance of the model is verified. پرونده مقاله
