This paper considers the blood distribution problem in the Central Anatolian Regional Blood Centre of the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) and proposes several demand satisfaction options considering the irradiation centres, urgent demands, and product availability. Our aim is to maximise the total weighted blood demand satisfaction. To address the problem, we develop a mixed integer linear programming model and propose a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA). The results of our experiments have revealed that the mathematical model cannot handle even small sized problem instances in reasonable times; however, the hybrid genetic algorithm is capable of handling complex daily operations of the Turkish Red Crescent.

Solution approaches to the blood distribution problem of the Turkish Red Crescent
Kurt, Atil; Azizoğlu, Meral; ÇETİNKAYA, FERDA CAN (Inderscience Publishers, 2018-01-01)
This paper considers the blood distribution problem that includes irradiation centres, urgent demands, and product availability in Turkey, Central Anatolian Regional Blood Center of the Turkish Red Crescent. To address the problem, we develop a mixed integer linear program with two objectives: maximising the demand satisfaction and minimising total time travelled by the vehicles. We propose two decomposition-based heuristic solution approaches. The results of our experiments have revealed that the model can...
An integrated inventory and distribution planning problem for the blood products: An application for the Turkish Red Crescent
Kurt, Atil; Azizoğlu, Meral; Çetinkaya, Ferda Can (2023-01-01)
This study considers an integrated inventory planning and distribution problem based on an applied case at the Turkish Red Crescent’s Central Anatolian Regional Blood Center. We define two echelons, the first echelon being the regional blood center and the second echelon being the districts. The blood products are perishable so that the outdated products are disposed of at the end of their lives. We aim to minimize the cost of inventory keeping at both echelons, the shortage, and disposal amounts at the sec...

An approximate model for base-stock-controlled assembly systems
Avşar, Zeynep Müge; RODOPLU, Umut (Informa UK Limited, 2009-03-01)
This study is on continuously reviewed base-stock-con trolled assembly systems with Poisson demand arrivals and exponential single-server facilities used for manufacturing and assembly operations. A partially aggregated but exact queueing model is developed and approximated assuming that the state-dependent transition rates arising as a result of the partial aggregation are constant. It is shown that the steady-state probability distribution of this approximate model is a product-form distribution for the s...
Application of strategic planning methodology to Republic of Turkey Ministry of Finance
Özahçı, Erhan; Şen, Tayyar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this study, it is aimed to determine and implement a process based strategic planning methodology for Turkish Ministry of Finance. Proposed methodology has been implemented in Ministry of Finance by a TÜBİTAK supported strategic management project in collaboration with Ministry of Finance Strategy Development Unit (MoF_SDU), TÜSSİDE and a private Consultancy Company. This project was a direct consequence of reforms on Public Financial Management and stipulated by the Laws No. 5018 and 5436 which have bee...
