Abstract

Cross-docking is a logistics procedure implemented in a warehouse to achieve a competitive advantage by consolidating and transferring goods directly from an inbound supplier to an outbound customer on short notice and with no or limited storage. Today, one of the challenges related to cross-docking for both practitioners and researchers is handling the uncertainty. Robust cross-docking solutions bring a part of the answer to this challenge. This paper proposes an overview of robust and real-time models for cross-dock problems with a focus on scheduling problems, notably in the road-to-road cross-dock environment. To this end, the conducted systematic literature review addresses the collection, identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion steps to extract the most relevant literature. The gaps in the literature are identified, and some perspectives to support future studies are proposed.
