“…In another study by [23], tactical and strategical decisions are studied to improve the value of the supply chain. Mixed-integer programming-based studies have been done to reduce the time of inbound logistics by using the proper assignment of trucks [24]. A two-stage routing problem is converted into a single-stage counterpart and calculation is done for the value of transshipment [25].…”

The pandemic situation like COVID-19 worsened the medical situation in India, and the crisis of medical oxygen availability at hospitals in different parts of India has also been a deep concern. In this study, we analyzed the supply chain of medical oxygen from manufacturing units to the needy capital cities of states. A two-mode optimization model has been developed for better planning of transportation and supply of medical oxygen. Various industrial units with a liquid oxygen production facility have been considered as sources while road and rail routes have been considered as modes of transportation. Finally, the oxygen cylinders/tankers are transported by road to hospitals. The mathematical model tries to optimize the route and transport medium, considering various constraints. This paper identifies the challenges in Indian contexts and tries to address them by an optimal, cost-effective, and efficient planning for medical oxygen transportation.

“…The group of authors dealt with the design of CD terminals and the definition of models which may improve the overall efficiency of logistics and distribution networks [13]. Fatthi et al [14] studied the rationalization of CD through the allocation of trucks to the loading docks. Having dealt with vehicle scheduling in CD terminals, Arkat et al [15] proposed a mathematical model for the scheduling of inbound and outbound vehicles in CD terminals with multiple loading decks.…”

Market needs and demands are contingent upon continuous work on finding better, faster, more efficient and more economic systems of goods flow. The intention is to optimize the logistic processes along the supply chain in terms of achieving economic, temporal, spatial and environmental improvements. One of the possible methods to improve the efficiency of supply chains is the introduction of the cross-docking (CD) concept. The essence of the CD concept is reflected in the consolidation of goods flows into the CD terminals with little or no storage of goods. The objective is to achieve optimization of time, space and costs. This paper presents the role of the CD concept in logistics chains, description of the CD terminals, and then the advantages and disadvantages of their application. The primary objective of this paper is to present the role, advantages and disadvantages of implementing the CD concept in logistics chains

“…Proper coordination of inbound and outbound activities can facilitate the smooth operation inside of the cross-dock centres. Fatthi et al (2016) presented a study about the scheduling and assignment of trucks in an inbound phase to minimise the completion time on the inbound side. This model was based on real-time information with the number of receiving trucks, the content of trucks, arrival time of trucks and unloading time of trucks were dynamic.…”

“…In the literature, some studies considered limited resources. However, the assumptions used in developing the model are unrealistic and cannot be used for practical solutions (Amini and Tavakkoli-Moghaddam, 2016; Fatthi et al , 2016; Ladier, 2014; Li et al , 2012; Shi et al , 2013; Soanpet, 2012; Zouhaier and Ben Said, 2017a, b). If temporary storage has unlimited capacity, the impact of resources limitation is not visible as all the extra products have to be moved to the temporary storage.…”

“…Finally, the departure time of trucks relies on arrival time, truck processing time and availability of resources inside the cross-docking centres. Previously, literature is limited to arrival time and due date for shipping trucks (Acar et al , 2012; Acar, 2004; Fatthi et al , 2016; Ladier, 2014; Ladier and Alpan, 2016b; Ladier et al , 2014; Walha et al , 2014). Future research can focus on developing integrated solutions through several steps.…”

PurposeThe technique of cross-docking is attractive to organisations because of the lower warehousing and transportation (consolidated shipments) costs. This concept is based on the fast movement of products. Accordingly, cross-docking operations should be monitored carefully and accurately. Several factors in cross-docking operations can be impacted by uncertain sources that can lead to inaccuracy and inefficiency of this process. Although many papers have been published on different aspects of cross-docking, there is a need for a comprehensive review to investigate the sources of uncertainties in cross-docking. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyse and categorise sources of uncertainty in cross-docking operations. A systematic review has been undertaken to analyse methods and techniques used in cross-docking research.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review has been undertaken to analyse methods and techniques used in cross-docking research.FindingsThe findings show that existing research has limitations on the applicability of the models developed to solve problems due to unrealistic or impractical assumption. Further research directions have been discussed to fill the gaps identified in the literature review.Originality/valueThere has been an increasing number of papers about cross-docking since 2010, among which three are literature reviews on cross-docking from 2013 to 2016. There is an absence of study in the current literature to critically review and identify the sources of uncertainty related to cross-docking operations. Without the proper identification and discussion of these uncertainties, the optimisation models developed to improve cross-docking operations may be inherently impractical and unrealistic.
