This paper presents a genetic algorithm for assigning doors in LTL (less-than-truckload) breakbulk terminals. Typically, strip (incoming freight) doors and stack (outgoing freight) doors are assigned to city areas. Incoming trailer loads are broken up and moved to appropriate outgoing trailers. The objective is to minimize the total weighted travel distance, a surrogate for labor cost and cycle time. The underlying problem is a Quadratic Assignment Problem. The experiments are based on real-world data.
