Abstract

Reducing the cost of wastage and shortage of hospitals' blood products with regard to the compatibility of blood groups
Blood supply chain management is considered one of the main components of the health system of each country. This chain consists of two-component blood collection and supply of products for blood donors has been formed. This article focuses on the issue of the supply of blood products; that tries to provide a mathematical model to reduce waste costs and a shortage of blood products to hospitals. In this model, while meeting the needs of different groups of hospitals, blood in hospitals is minimized inventory costs. A mathematical model in five hospitals affiliated Blood Transfusion Center of East Azerbaijan is implemented. With regard to the compatibility of blood groups and red cell products supply costs and inventory decreased 18% o + blood group also declined to be compatible with other blood types.
