Abstract
This paper studied on the operational scheduling problem in a cross-docking center of a single receiving and a single shipping door with finite temporary storage.A dynamic programming model was built with the objective to minimize the costs including additional handing,temporary storage and truck replacement cost.A cultural algorithm with two layer evolutionary mechanism was proposed to solve the problem.The evolution of population space adopted genetic algorithm,and the belief space received good individual from population space to form knowledge which was used to guide evolution in turn.Numerical experiments under small and big scale situations prove the validity of proposed cultural algorithm.
