Abstract
The cross-dock-based supply chain is an integrated supply chain which uses the unique characteristics of a cross-dock to speed goods to downstream customers. A comparison is made with the warehouse process to demonstrate the improved efficiency of a cross-dock supply chain. There are three types of cross-docks and they all utilize the same design parameters to determine the shape and size of the facility. A method to determine these parameters is presented and practical design methods are illustrated. The relative advantages of manual and automated processes are discussed.
