Zusammenfassung:This paper addresses issues at the shipping/receiving dock of a shipping company, where trucks come in from venders, get their shipments unloaded and reloaded onto trucks going to the customers. The assignment of dock doors to incoming and outgoing trucks determines the efficiency of the dock operation. A microcomputer based tool based on a bilinear program is proposed for recognition of the shipping pattern, and the assignment of the dock doors.
