“…Mousavi et al [34] proposed a stochastic programming model to design a BPSCN where social and environmental issues were taken into account. Abbaspour et al [5] used a Markov model to optimize a BPSCN under scheduled and emergency demands and a hybrid FIFO-LIFO issuing policy, while freshness and expiration of platelets were also under consideration.…”

“…As GWO is a metaheuristic algorithm with auto-adjusted parameters, we should only set the algorithm's number of iterations and population size. [5,20] The dataset in this paper is a BPSCN with D = 50 donor sites, M = 3 blood banks, and N = 12 hospitals. Every day t, each hospital i has a certain (scheduled) demand D P ilt and an uncertain (emergency) demand D E ilt for each age l. The aim is to design a BPSCN for 30-day time periods (one month) to minimize the total economic cost while minimizing shortage and wastage.…”

“…Platelets have the shortest shelf life and are widely used in various medical treatments, such as bone marrow failure, cancer treatment, cardiovascular surgery, organ transplantation, traumatology, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, AIDS, and Hepatitis [4]. Platelets are segregated from other components of blood using buffy coats, platelet-rich plasma, or apheresis [5].…”

Blood platelets are a typical instance of perishable age-differentiated products with a shelf life of five days (on average), which may lead to significant wastage of some collected samples. At the same time, a shortage of platelets may also be observed because of emergency demands and the limited number of donors, especially during disasters such as wars and the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, developing an efficient blood platelet supply chain management model is highly necessary to reduce shortage and wastage. In this research, an integrated resilient–sustainable supply chain network of perishable age-differentiated platelets considering vertical and horizontal transshipment is designed. In order to achieve sustainability, economic cost, social cost (shortage), and environmental cost (wastage) are taken into account. A reactive resilient strategy utilizing lateral transshipment between hospitals is adopted to make the blood platelet supply chain powerful against shortage and disruption risks. The presented model is solved using a metaheuristic based on a local search-empowered grey wolf optimizer. The obtained results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed vertical–horizontal transshipment model in reducing total economic cost, shortage, and wastage by 3.61%, 30.1%, and 18.8%, respectively.

“…Then, they would be delivered to hospitals based on a forecasted demand and scheduled procedures (Najafi et al 2018). The blood derivation indicates the potential to separate it into several transfusable components such as red blood cells (RBC), platelets (PLT), and plasma (PLS) (Abbaspour et al 2020;Yaghoubi et al 2020). The RBC's function (which expires within 42 days) is to treat anemia, trauma, and surgical patients with massive blood loss.…”

In the aftermath of a disaster, acquiring and fulfilling blood demand is essential to prevent further loss of lives. Consequently, in recent years, the concept of blood supply chain design for disaster relief has gained immense importance. This article addresses this issue by developing a novel bi-objective scenario-based mathematical model to minimize the system's costs while enhancing the blood supply rate. The proposed framework encompasses three echelons of blood centers, hospitals, and backup blood centers. The model is developed using a set of techniques, including backup coverage, lateral transshipment, gift card, buffer storage, and blood transfusion. This specific combination aims to reduce blood shortages in the system by improving the coordination among different echelons of the network and encouraging more eligible individuals to donate blood. Next, the model is evaluated by applying it to a case study concerning a probable dangerous earthquake in Tehran capital of Iran. Furthermore, a Lagrangian relaxation method is implemented on the model to improve its capability in dealing with larger-scale problems with higher efficiency. Finally, the results and analysis demonstrate our approach's validity and advantages in satisfying the blood demand in a disaster time.
