Abstract EN
This paper reports the performance of particle swarm optimization (PSO) for the assignment of blood to meet patients’ blood transfusion requests for blood transfusion.
While the drive for blood donation lingers, there is need for effective and efficient management of available blood in blood banking systems.
Moreover, inherent danger of transfusing wrong blood types to patients, unnecessary importation of blood units from external sources, and wastage of blood products due to nonusage necessitate the development of mathematical models and techniques for effective handling of blood distribution among available blood types in order to minimize wastages and importation from external sources.
This gives rise to the blood assignment problem (BAP) introduced recently in literature.
We propose a queue and multiple knapsack models with PSO-based solution to address this challenge.
Simulation is based on sets of randomly generated data that mimic real-world population distribution of blood types.
Results obtained show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm for BAP with no blood units wasted and very low importation, where necessary, from outside the blood bank.
The result therefore can serve as a benchmark and basis for decision support tools for real-life deployment.
