Crossdocking What is Cross Docking is a technique to eliminate functional logistics storage and collection of a warehouse line, but still allow the implementation of the function of receiving and shipping. Activities warehouses without inventories. In the 4 key functions of warehouse operations (reception, storage, collection orders, shipment) two functions is the most expensive storage (storage costs due to inventory) and collecting orders (due to labor costs). Cross Docking is a technique to eliminate functional logistics storage and collection of a warehouse line, but still allow the implementation of the function of receiving and Shipping. The main idea of this technique is to transfer shipments directly from the trailer to the trailer away - ignoring the intermediate storage. Shipments typically takes about a day in cross dock and sometimes less than 1 hour. The cross dock is the major hub facility receiving the trolley has been classified and grouped with other products and put them into the truck output (outbound trucks). The cars will leave the dock to an area Cross producer, a retail store or other cross dock. What makes this different from the inventory Cross Docking traditions? In the traditional model, maintaining cargo warehouses until a customer orders, then the product is selected, packed and shipped. When the additional orders to the warehouse, they are stored until the customer is determined. Cross docking model, customers are anticipated product to the warehouse and this product does not need to store. What is Cross docking - Cross docking warehouse and traditional models So that means that in tissue Figure Cross Docking, clients (a retail store, for example) to wait extra time for shipping the goods to the warehouse? True, but the transport is subject to a delivery schedule and strict sure to cover any uncertainty relating to lengthen the lead time (in this case the lead time is the time between the order / or from the enterprise deployment orders until delivery to the customer). Conversely, if the Cross Docking when done properly will allow companies eliminate inventory costs and reduce shipping costs while at the same time. Benefits of Cross Docking: First: In some cases, waste is defined retailers associated with keeping inventory for all kinds of high demand and stable. Cross Docking in this case is seen as a way to reduce the cost of holding inventory. Second: For a number of other retailers and the small cargo transport, retail is seen as a Cross Docking how to reduce the cost of transport. For example, retail stores can receive direct shipments from suppliers to use less transportation vehicles (LTL) or for each individual shipment. However, this makes the freight cost increases excessive inputs (due to the high number of vehicles accompanied by an increase in costs such as fuel, repair costs and upgrade vehicles, detailed labor ...). Cross Docking is the way to collect the shipment together to achieve a certain number of vehicles in order to reduce transport costs and simplify input receiving goods at retail stores. Cross Docking reduce spending input freight and simplify the receipt. the type of Cross Docking term "Cross Docking" was used to describe the different types of activities, all related to the collection and transportation of products products quickly. Napolitano (2000) have proposed plans for Cross Docking following classification: Cross Docking production (Manufacturing Cross Docking): Support and collecting the input source to support the Just-in-time production. For example, a manufacturer can rent a warehouse near their factories, and use it to prepare for the assembly or gathering the necessary components of each section together. Because the needs of each department is known in advance, based on the output of an MRP system (system manufacturing resource planning) should not need to maintain a certain amount of inventory. Cross Docking distributors (Distributor Cross Docking): Collection of input products from different vendors into a mixed product pallets. This pallet will be delivered to the customer as soon as the final component is received. For example, computer parts distributor can sourcing parts from different suppliers and combine them into a single shipment to customers. Cross Docking Transportation (Transportation Cross Docking): this activity combines shipments from a number of different carriers in the form of small packages to LTL or economic advantages of scale (economies of scale). Cross Docking retail (retail Cross Docking): the process relating to the reception of products from multiple vendors and sorting them into lorries output for some retailers. Cross Docking opportunities (Opportunistic Cross Docking): can be used in any warehouse public goods,
