The main objective when managing inventories in blood supply chains is to establish an efficient balance between the wastage and shortage of units. uncertain demand perishable nature units can result over- or under-stocking increase costs. In this study, we analyze how a proactive transshipment policy avoid future shortages addition mitigate wastage. We consider network hospitals with which eac...

Methods: Vaccine wastage was defined as the number of doses received by a health centre minus the total number of doses administered during and returned following the outbreak vaccination campaign. Vaccine data were collected from the Provincial Health Information Office, the Provincial Vaccine Store register and clinic and health centre immunization registers for calculating the vaccine wastag...

Background and Objectives: A sudden jump in blood demand during natural disasters may have strong negative impact on the performance of blood supply chain. Appropriate response to emergency situations requires predictive approach to determining the optimal allocation of blood supply chain resources for various disaster scenarios. The present study, thus, presents an optimization model aimed at ...

background as per the vaccine management policy of the government of india all vaccine vials opened for an immunization session were discarded at the end of that session, irrespective of the type of vaccine or the number of doses remaining in the vial prior to 2013. subsequently, open vial policy (ovp) was introduced in 2013 and should reduce both vaccine wastage as well as governmental healthc...

-Orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes in CDMA networks are designed to handle quantized data rates. Handling non-quantized data rates in such networks leads to code capacity wastage if traditional single code assignment is used. Although, the use of multiple codes reduce this wastage capacity but the use of large number of fixed rake combiners per call increase cost and complexity ...
