====Summary====
This paper looks at the advantages of a cross-docking inventory management system during the emergence of drones as a transportation alternative. A cross-docking system is a system where incoming materials are directly loaded on the next vehicle, with virtually no storage in-between. Advantages of using drones for the last-mile reduction are reduced uncertainty due to variable traffic, and less pollution. The paper provides a model for the delivery of packages using trucks and drones, while making use of cross-docking.
