Cross Docking as a Factor of Distribution Efficiencies Improving in Conditions of Governance Digitalization

This paper is an attempt to investigate the impact of cross docking on transportation and distribution efficiencies, while focusing on role of cross docking to reduce warehousing cost.1073 respondents from the logistic industry were selected through restricted probability sampling, for crawling the perceptions/ responses on the proposition of this research while the 1000 responses were filtered and recorded for evaluating the hypotheses and extracting the empirical findings on the impact of cross docking on improving distribution efficiencies and reducing warehousing cost. The responses to gauge the propositions / hypotheses of the study were collected from the respondents belong to logistic industry from four major Asian countries including China, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, while, the respondents were contacted through their LinkedIn and Facebook profiles.During the research OLS model was deployed while taking one independent variable i.e. cross docking and two dependent variable i.e. warehousing cost and distribution efficiency respectively, which are explained in following OLS equations. Both two OLS equation Simple linear regressions were deployed to examine the possible controlling impact of cross dockings on warehousing costs and distribution efficiencies.Thus the reason that companies and professionals are showing their interest towards cross docking is reduction of inventory and related cost, less pilot period, progression in consumer services, building good relations with providers and likewise taking decisions on right time.The findings confirmed that 1% improvement in cross docking reduces 32.4% warehousing cost and improves 35.6% distributions efficiencies significantly
