摘要
Cross-docking is the practice of transferring materials from an incoming shipment directly to an outgoing shipment without storing them at the transfer point. This essentially eliminates the inventory-holding function of a warehouse and can reduce supply chain costs. We investigate the value of one type of cross-docking in a variety of supply chain environments.
