| dc.description.abstract | Because our country has impacted by globalization, and the network is growing fast, the market competition is becoming more and more fierce. For those reasons, the logistics industry has to find an operation mode which was more effective to conform to the demands of consumer market, and provide a higher level and quality to customers. Thus, reducing the operation time and costs from receiving to shipping by using appropriate operation strategy will significantly impact the effectiveness of logistic center.
Cross docking is one of the strategies of logistics operations. It means that people receiving goods on the cross docking facilities, then splitting, classifying, and stacking by customer needs. After that, the goods will be loaded on trucks and delivered to delivery places which were requested by the customers. For this strategy, all items haven’t to do receiving inspection or stored in logistics center. Thus, the time from receiving to shipping can be minimized. For those characteristics, cross docking is particularly suitable for urgent orders and the condition which suppliers have to deliver the goods to retailers directly.
This research aims to three issues of Distributor Cross Docking, which were order selection problem, cell of tally area assigning problem, and tally area serving problem, and respectively proposes order selection rule, cell of tally area assigning rule, and tally area serving rule. Finally, in this environment, comparing the data by On-time Delivery Rate, Total Tardiness, Total System Time, and Total Picking Distance, which were obtained by simulation experiments, to know which combination of the rules will performs better.
