AN INVESTIGATION OF THE VALUE OF CROSS‐DOCKING FOR SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
研究了交叉转运（将货物直接从进货车辆转移到出货车辆、不经过仓储）在不同供应链环境下的价值，帮助管理者判断是否采用该策略以降低成本。
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.
