We propose an operation scheduling model at a cross-dock
platform to determine the inbound trucks’ arrival time, the
internal flows between the different stages at shop-floor
(temporary staging zones, repacking zone and departure) and,
finally, an approximation of the number of outbound trucks
needed to fulfil customers’ demand. Since the problem treats
operational-related decisions, we consider a platform that is
already functioning and the following parameters are given as
input data
