Abstract:
In general, blood is one of the most critical commodities in health, which today has not been found to be a viable alternative in the medical field. Blood is not a normal product blood, supply from donors is usually irregular and demand for blood products is random. Still, the supply and demand match has not been resolved effectively in different research. Blood products have short life time, which makes it more complicated. The shortage of blood products since they can increase mortality rates, will have exorbitant costs for society. On the other hand, because the group of blood donors form a small group of society and donors should take a period of time between them, the loss of blood products is not acceptable. only a few percent of the population are blood donors. Thus, it had to be very specific to the management of blood and blood products inventory. In this study, a model is presented to minimize the waste costs in the supply chain with the vendor 's inventory management approach (VMI), considering cross - hospital communications. The linear model presented using GAMS win64 software was solved and the software output was presented, then the results and analysis of the model was performed. Given the outputs, it was found that the total cost reduction would decrease with the possibility of communication between the hospital, and the use of VMI approach helps reduce inventory level and waste. Finally, suggestions for further research were presented.
