The main objective when managing inventories in blood supply chains is to establish an efficient balance between the wastage and shortage of units. uncertain demand perishable nature units can result over- or under-stocking increase costs. In this study, we analyze how a proactive transshipment policy avoid future shortages addition mitigate wastage. We consider network hospitals with which eac...

Having a comprehensive evaluation model with reliable data is useful to improve performance of supply chain. In this paper, according to the nature of supply chain, a model is presented that able to evaluate the performance of the supply chain by a network data envelopment analysis model and by using the financial, intellectual capital (knowledge base), collaboration and responsiveness factors ...

perishability of blood products as well as uncertainty in demand amounts complicate the management of blood supply for blood centers. this paper addresses a mixed-integer linear programming model for blood platelets production planning while integrating the processes of blood collection as well as production/testing, inventory control and distribution. whole blood-derived production methods for...

Supply chain management is a set of used methods for the efficient integration of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and sellers to response customer requirements to reduce system costs and to distribute products at the right place and right time. This study aims to identify and rank the supply chain damages using the analytic network process as a practical case in a fast moving consumer goo...

Natural disasters and unexpected disruptive events have forced practitioners researchers to build resilience capability into their systems survive grow in tempestuous turbulent times. This study empirically examined the effect of multi-dimensional supply chain flexibility (MDSCF) improving (SCRES) under a high (SC) risk environment. The incorporated survey technique utilized valid responses fro...
