    Abstract: This paper presents a problem in the management of the blood supply chain at the blood banks with perishability characteristics, especially for the red blood cells and platelets. Focus of this discussion is to minimize the total cost, shortage and wastage levels of the blood unit. Stochastic integer programming approach is used to solve this proble... Show More
