Abstract: The key of realizing the cross dock is to design the joint of inbound trucks and out bound trucks. A proper sequence makes the cross docking more efficient and needs less makespan. Regarding the number of items in the temporary inventory was proportional to the makespan, this paper transfers the objective function of minimizing the makespan into minimizing the number of items in the temporary inventory. An Improved Harmony Search (IHS) algorithm is proposed to solve the optimization problem. Based on the solving limitation on the parameter value of harmony search algorithm, dynamic adjustment method is used to set parameters. The fixed parameters optimized by Taguchi experiments effectively improve the accuracy of solutions further. The simulation results show that the IHS solutions are more close to the overall optimal solutions than the Harmony Search and Tabu Search. HIS is better in terms of searching for optimal solutions to solve the problem of sequencing among inbound and outbound trucks.
