Abstract :
Blood supply chain network design isanessentialpart of the total blood
management systems.In this paper, a mixed integer non-linear
programming (MINLP) model for the concerned problem is
developed. In the proposed model, strategic decisions such as location
of main (fixed) facilities as well as tactical decisions such as location
of temporary facilities and blood packages flow between each pair of
nodes in each period is taken into account. Also, in order to handle
uncertain nature of model parameters, a mix robust stochastic
programming approach is applied to the model. Finally, to test the
applicability of the proposed model, a numerical example is proposed
using random generated data and then sensitivity analysis is done on a
model parameter which play a rolein making trade-off between model
robustness and optimality robustness.
