| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 工業管理研究所 === 103 === With the increase of the economy globalization and the rapid development of the internet, consumer market’s demand has become small-volume production of a wide range of different items. Under these circumstances, the operation of distribution center becomes the focus of competition for enterprise due to the product life cycles shorten and the concept of supply chain emerges.
Cross-docking is a strategy in logistics operations .We set items can transport to the logistics center by the supplier, and classify them in accordance with the orders. After the orders are completed, these items directly transport to the outbound dock waiting for shipping. In addition, the items do not need to store in the logistics center. Hence, we can eliminate items on the inbound, put away, and storage in the cross-docking environment.
This research proposed three decision-making strategies： storage assignment, picking point strategies and picking route strategies. Simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategies in three performance measures – Total System Time（TST）, Total Picking Time（TPT）, and Total Picking Distance（TPD）.
