Resumo	Cross-docking is a logistics strategy in which products arriving at a distribution center from suppliers are unloaded, sorted, consolidated, and immediately reloaded onto outbound vehicles destined for customers, with minimal or no storage time. Rather than storing inventory in a warehouse, products flow through in 24–48 hours. Cross-docking reduces inventory holding costs, improves product freshness, and increases throughput of the distribution network. It is widely used in fast-moving consumer goods, parcel delivery, and retail supply chains.	Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) is a supply chain arrangement in which the supplier (vendor) has visibility into the customer's inventory levels and assumes responsibility for replenishing inventory to pre-agreed levels. Rather than customers placing orders based on internal forecasts, the supplier monitors actual consumption and triggers replenishment shipments automatically. VMI reduces administrative burden, minimizes stock-outs, improves cash flow (by reducing inventory in the supply chain), and fosters collaboration between supplier and customer.
