A two-stage stochastic programming model for inventory management in the blood supply chain
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage stochastic programming model is proposed for defining optimal periodic review policies for red blood cells inventory management that focus on minimising operational costs, as well as blood shortage and wastage due to outdating, taking into account perishability and demand uncertainty.

Blood supply chain network design considering blood group compatibility under uncertainty
Behzad Zahiri,Mir Saman Pishvaee +1 more
TL;DR: A bi-objective mathematical programming model is developed which minimises the total cost as well as the maximum unsatisfied demand and significant cost savings compared to current existed blood SC network.

Blood supply chain network design under uncertainties in supply and demand considering social aspects
Reza Ramezanian,Zahra Behboodi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a deterministic location-allocation model is proposed applying a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) optimization, which can overcome the limitations of scenario-based solution methods, without excessive changes in complexity of the underlying base deterministic model.

A perishable product supply chain network design problem with reliability and disruption considerations
TL;DR: A bi-objective robust optimization model is presented that is resilient to disaster scenarios and aims to minimize the time and cost of delivering products to customers after the occurrence of a disaster, while it considers the possibility of multiple disruptions in facilities and routes.
