Due to uncertainty of truck arrivals, a scheduling strategy is subject to variations in costs of serving the trucks. A cost-stable scheduling strategy is defined as a schedule with low variation levels. In this paper, we analyze the cross-dock operator's problem of determining a cost-stable scheduling strategy while minimizing the average of total service costs. A bi-objective bi-level optimization problem is formulated and we discuss a genetic algorithm based heuristic to find Pareto efficient schedules. The proposed approach is compared to first-come-first-served policies. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/34670 | ISSN: | 13665545 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.tre.2012.06.007 | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Missouri University of Science and Technology University of Memphis |
