“…Another study is due to Gunpinar and Centeno ( 2015 ) in which a stochastic programming model is proposed for the first time against the uncertainty inherent in the blood demand that minimizes the total cost, the absence of blood product, and the amount of idle blood product throughout a planning horizon. An inventory policy that reduces the amount of out-of-date products during the absence of blood product is proposed by Wang and Ma ( 2015 ). The age-related inventory policy of the developed product is analysed by several what-if scenarios and the sensitivity of various parameters are also analysed.…”

This research analyses the re-organization of a blood supply chain organization. Blood supply chain network design is a hard problem. Uncertainties of the blood supply and demand, perishability of blood over time and compatibility of blood types are some factors that make the problem difficult. This paper presents a novel multi-objective mixed-integer location-allocation model for a blood supply chain design problem. Unlike many studies on blood supply chain design in the literature, supply chain network consisting of mobile and permanent units is planned together effectively with our mixed-integer programming model. Multi-objective structure of the model minimizes distances between the blood supply chain elements and the length of the mobile unit routes. The objectives are prioritized by experts using the Analytical Hierarchical Process. Finally, the model is implemented on a real life case study using real data from the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey for various supply demand scenarios. The solutions offered by the model are compared with the current situation in the region. It is shown that the proposed model gives at least %25 more effective solutions. Moreover, sensitivity analysis on the budget constraint is conducted, and robustness of the model is empirically illustrated.

“…As for transhipment, Wang and Ma [25] achieved an effective reduction in the blood system expiration rate by establishing a transport model based on inventory storage time. Dehghani and Abbasi [26] created a transport strategy based on the longest storage time for interhospital blood transportation to reduce inventory scrap cost.…”

“…(2) e location of blood donation houses is fixed, and the blood donation houses are in charge of transporting blood to blood centres in phases. (3) Averages of both blood supply and demand are known in the affected area, and supply and demand within the research period both conform to Poisson distribution [25]. (4) A person can only donate one unit of blood (i.e., 200 ml of blood and referred to as 1U below) at a time.…”

In response to emergencies, it is critical to investigate how to deliver emergency supplies efficiently and securely to disaster-affected areas and people. There is no doubt that blood is deemed one of the vital relief supplies, and ensuring smooth blood delivery may substantially alleviate subsequent impacts caused by the disaster. Taking red blood cell products as the research object, this work proposes a four-echelon blood supply chain model. Specifically, it includes blood donors, blood donation houses, blood centres, and hospitals. Furthermore, numerical analysis is provided to test the feasibility of blood collection and distribution schemes and conduct sensitivity analysis to test the impacts of the relevant parameters (e.g., apheresis donation proportion of red blood cells (RBCs), distance between blood donors and blood facilities, and times of blood donation) on the scheme. This research provides some scientific and reasonable support for decision makers and managerial implications for emergency departments and contributes to the study of emergent blood supply chain.

“…Currently there is a growing research interest in the emergency blood supply problem, such as post-disaster location analysis of regional blood centers (Sahin et al 2007;Sharma et al 2017), robust design of emergency blood supply networks (Jabbarzadeh et al 2014), supply chain design for blood supply in disasters Fahimnia et al 2017;Fazli-Khalaf et al 2017;Khalilpourazari and Khamseh 2017;Samani et al 2018), and an age-based policy for blood transshipment during blood shortage (Wang and Ma 2015). But the emergency blood allocation problem in disaster relief operations has never been discussed.…”

Large-scale sudden-onset disasters may cause massive injuries and thus place great pressure on the emergency blood supplies of local blood banks. When blood is in short supply, blood products gathered urgently to a local blood center should be appropriately allocated to blood banks in the affected area. Moreover, ABO/ Rh(D) compatibilities among blood groups must be considered during emergency situations. To minimize the total unmet demand of blood products considering the optimal ABO/Rh(D)-compatible blood substitution scheme, a mixed integer programming model is developed and solved efficiently by using a greedy heuristic algorithm. Finally, a numerical example derived from the emergency blood supply scenario of the Wenchuan Earthquake is presented to verify the proposed model and algorithm. The results show that considering ABO/Rh(D)-compatible blood substitution can remarkably increase the efficiency of emergency blood allocation while lowering blood shortage, and the preference order of possible ABO/Rh(D)-compatible substitutions has an influence on the allocation solution.
