Some implementations of variable neighborhood search based algorithms were presented in Cécilia Daquin, Hamid Allaoui, Gilles Goncalves and Tienté Hsu, Variable neighborhood search based algorithms for crossdock truck assignment, RAIRO-Oper. Res., 55 (2021) 2291-2323. This work is based on model in Zhaowei Miao, Andrew Lim, Hong Ma, Truck dock assignment problem with operational time constraint within crossdocks, European Journal of Operational Research 192 (1), 2009, 105-115 m which has been proven to be incorrect. We reiterate and elaborate on the deficiencies in the latter and show that the authors in the former were already aware of the deficiencies in the latter and the proposed minor amendment does not overcome any of such deficiencies.
