Explanation / Answer

The Cross-docking means "avoid placing materials or supplies in storage by processing them as they are received". In a manufacturing industry the product is directly received to the assembly line. In distribution place or center products are labeled and presorted goods are arrived at the shipping dock in order to fast rerouting, hence avoids the stocking/storing, formal receiving, and also order selection activities. This is because these activities have no values in production or product, elimination of this will be 100% cost saving . Here items are processed as they are received rather than placing them in the storage. It minimizes the inventory handling, product handling and facility cost but it requires accurate inbound product as well as tight scheduling.
