Çapraz sevkiyatta kamyon çizelgeleme problemi için çözüm yaklaşımları

Çapraz sevkiyat, bir dağıtım ağında, ürünlerin dağıtım merkezlerine gelen kamyonlar aracılığıyla teslim edildiği, müşteri taleplerine göre konsolide edilerek müşterilere teslim edilmek üzere giden kamyonlara yüklendiği yenilikçi bir sistemdir. Bu çalışmada, çapraz sevkiyat merkezindeki her bir kamyonun kapılara atanması ve kapılardaki sırasının belirlenmesine yönelik olan kamyon çizelgeleme problemi ele alınmıştır. Belirtilen probleminin çözümü için belirli bir çalışma süresi içinde yüklenen ürün sayısının en büyüklenmesi amacına sahip bir matematiksel model ve Tavlama Benzetimi algoritması önerilmiştir. Farklı test problemleri türetilerek matematiksel model ve meta sezgisel algoritmanın sonuçları karşılaştırılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Çok kapılı çapraz sevkiyat merkezi, Kamyon çizelgeleme, Lojistik, Tavlama benzetimi

Solution approaches for truck scheduling problem in cross-docking

Cross docking is an innovative system that products are distributed to the distribution centers via trucks, consolidated according to customer demands, and loaded into trucks to be delivered to customers. This study focuses on the truck-scheduling problem, which consists of assigning each truck to a door at the dock and determining the sequences. This study presents a mathematical model and a Simulated Annealing Algorithm for door assignments and truck scheduling in multi-door cross-docking centers. The objective of the model is to maximize of the total number of shipping products within working time period. The results of the mathematical model and the meta-heuristic algorithm are compared by generating different test problems.
