Bartholdi, III, Supply Chain & Logistics Institute, School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Multimedia Crossdocking Lessons & Crossdocking Java Applet (Text & Images). VERY EXTENSIVE. A Crossdock "...may be thought of as a high-speed warehouse. What enables this speed is the fact that when product arrives at a crossdock it is already bespoke; that is, each item already has a known destination on arrival. Consequently, each item can flow directly from receiving to shipping, bypassing the intervening processes typical of most warehouses..." Crossdocking Applet is down about 3/4 of the page.
