A simple empirical inventory model for managing the processed corneal tissue equitably in hospitals with demand differentiation

This paper peruses one of the most challenging healthcare concerns related to human organ transplantation. In this regard, a medical system’s health-economic objectives are investigated (1) achieve desirable level health equity in offering services patients who differentiated terms conditions, and (2) minimize total costs incurred across managing inventory. presents first-ever operational research study manage processed corneal tissue (PCT). Besides, hybrid demand-oriented policies have been proposed equitably issue assign specific inventories demands with distinct urgent levels (ULs). practical multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MOMILP) model is for system multiple products that can be substituted each other according priorities. A goal (GP) approach utilized find optimum solution. The applicability validated through real case study. Finally, several sensitivity analyses conducted examine effect critical parameters on solutions gain useful managerial insights. results show trade-off well performed efficiently handle case.
