| Abstract | Cross docking is a distribution strategy to efficiently control the physical flow of inventory. In this approach, the concept of warehouse shifts from a place for holding the inventory to a site for receiving, classifying, and shipping to the product destination in a very short time. Shipments are typically kept for less than 24 h in the cross dock. The major advantage of this strategy is to reduce the cycle time and inventory level while fulfilling customer’s demands. In general, relevant studies are based on one-product type delivery and pickup assumption whereas in reality, customers are likely to order different types of products in various amounts. This paper focuses on considering the scheduling problem of cross docking multi-product type deliveries and pickups, so that the objective, minimizing the summation of transportation cost and holding cost, can be satisfied. The efficiency and capability of the mathematical model is evaluated by presenting a case study and sensitivity analysis of the parameters influencing the problem. In order to solve the model, as the problem is NP-hard, an efficient heuristic procedure to provide effective initial solution within reasonable computational times is applied and then improved by an imperialist competitive algorithm. Computational results which consist of comparing the proposed heuristic and meta-heuristic with optimal solution obtained by Generalized Algebraic Modeling System show that the suitability of the proposed solving approach is quite sensible for solving such complicated problems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
