Abstract:Introducing a new version of a cross-docking assignment problem when forklifts carry bulk materials, we address an operational solution to reduce the impact of forklifts congestion in centre of terminals. We develop a mixed-integer bilinear programming model, a Tabu-search algorithm, where the main objective of the model is still to minimize the total transshipment costs, and additionally trying to minimize the weighted forklifts travelled distance (WTD) and the weighted unloading/loading labour costs at inbou… Show more
