For this purpose, many companies try to use efficient methods to increase customer sat- Received in revised form 12 July 2015 isfaction and reduce costs. Cross docking is a good method to reduce the warehouse space requirements, Accepted 12 September 2015 inventory management costs, and turnaround times for customer orders. This paper proposes a novel Available online 28 September 2015 dynamic genetic algorithm-based method for scheduling vehicles in cross docking systems such that the total operation time is minimized. In this paper, it is assumed that a temporary storage is placed Keywords: at the shipping dock and inbound vehicles are allowed to repeatedly enter and leave the dock to unload Supply chain management
