The cross docking under uncertainty: State of the art

Cross docking is defined as a consolidation process which integrates intermediate nodes into a transportation network where the goal is to reduce the inventory holding and the service time. This paper presents a review of the existing literature about the cross-docking under uncertainty. The discussed researches are classified based on the type of uncertainty (external and internal uncertainty). The cross docking hub in the platform of the physical internet is presented.
