Comparing an Approximate Queuing Approach with Simulation for the Solution of a Cross-Docking Problem

Cross-docking is a logistics management concept in which products are temporarily unloaded at intermediate facilities and loaded onto output trucks to be sent to their final destination. In this paper, we propose an approximate nonstationary queuing model to size the number of docks to receive the t...
