Abstract
Abstract Cross-docking is a transshipment platform used to consolidate incoming products for outgoing destinations. In this paper, we investigate platform operational activities and focus on the loading and unloading policies of semi-trailers. Two methods are proposed to obtain an optimal policy for the conceptual model of cross-docking. The first approach uses dynamic programming and the other is based on branch and bound methodology. Both algorithms show acceptable performance for small and medium size sample problems; however, the second approach has dominant efficiency for the large size problems.
