Expert Answer

Crossdocking is an activity which is used to eliminate or minimise usage of intermediate warehousing. Cross docking is used by direct transferring (including temporary intermediate storage) material from one inbound mode of transport (railroad, truck) to multiple outbound trucks for direct delivery to end destination. Thus, the need for intermediate warehouse is minimised

Therefore, there is no need for consolidation warehouses where large shipments are broken into small shipments for local delivery in an area

Therefore, answer is “b. False”
