Purpose.
Blood, like fresh produce, is a perishable element, with platelets having a limited lifetime of five days and red blood cells lasting 42 days.
To manage the blood supply chain more effectively under demand and supply uncertainty, it is of considerable importance to developing a practical blood supply chain model.
This paper proposed an essential blood supply chain model under demand and supply uncertainty.
Methods.
This study focused on how to manage the blood supply chain under demand and supply uncertainty effectively.
A stochastic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the blood supply chain is proposed.
Furthermore, this study conducted a sensitivity analysis to examine the impacts of the coefficient of demand and supply variation and the cost parameters on the average total cost and the performance measures (units of shortage, outdated units, inventory holding units, and purchased units) for both the blood center and hospitals.
Results.
Based on the results, the hospitals and the blood center can choose the optimal ordering policy that works best for them.
From the results, we observed that when the coefficient of demand and supply variation is increased, the expected supply chain cost increased with more outdating units, shortages units, and holding units due to the impacts of supply and demand fluctuation.
Variation in the inventory holding and expiration costs has an insignificant effect on the total cost.
Conclusions.
The model developed in this paper can assist managers and pathologists at the blood donation centers and hospitals to determine the most efficient inventory policy with a minimum cost based on the uncertainty of blood supply and demand.
The model also performs as a decision support system to help health care professionals manage and control blood inventory more effectively under blood supply and demand uncertainty, thus reducing shortage of blood and expired wastage of blood.
