A Comprehensive Mathematical Model for Designing an Organ Transplant Supply Chain Network under Uncertainty

One of the most important issues in area of health and hygiene is location-allocation of organ harvesting centers and transplant centers according to coordination between supply and demand. In this paper, a mathematical model is presented for location-allocation of organ harvesting centers and transplant centers. The proposed model does not only minimize the present value of the total system co...

A Stochastic Optimization Approach to a Location-Allocation Problem of Organ Transplant Centers

Decision-making concerning thelocation of critical resource on the geographical network is important in many industries.In the healthcare system,these decisions include location of emergency and preventive care. The decisions of location play a crucial role due to determining the travel time between supply and de//////mand points and response time in emergencies.Organs are considered as highly ...

Multi objective organ transplant supply chain with effective location and time consideration

Nowadays, working alone on a context is not sufficient and reaching good and worthy results demands cooperation of multi sciences. Healthcare supply chain is one of these sciences that bridges engineering and healthcare sciences. This paper proposes a new multi–objective model for organ transplant supply chain, which is one of consequential fields in Healthcare supply chain, by aiming at having...
