BLOOD INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Abstract
Blood Inventory Management has attracted
significant interest from the Operations Research profession during the last 15
years. A number of methodological contributions have been made in the areas of
inventory theory and combinatoric optimization that can be of use to other
products or systems.
These contributions include the development of exact and
approximate ordering and issuing policies for an inventory system, the analysis
of LIFO or multi-product systems, and various forms of distribution scheduling.
In addition, many of these results have been implemented, either as decision
rules for efficient blood management in a hospital, or as decision support
systems for hierarchical planning in a Regional Blood Center.
In this paper we attempt a review of the recent
Operations Research contributions to blood inventory management theory and
practice. Whereas many problems have been solved, others remain open and new
ones keep being created with advances in medical technology and practices.
Our
approach is not to present an exhaustive review of all the literature in the
field, but rather to address several important issues from a unified
perspective of theory and practice, and point out new areas for further
research.
