Abstrakt: In the paper, a novel mathematical model for blood supply chain network and a variant of Genetic Algorithm for the problem are proposed. The proposed mathematical model is developed using Mixed-integer nonlinear programming. The model is designed as a location, allocation, and routing problem that includes determining locations of local blood centers, assigning transfusion and blood donation centers to predetermined local blood centers, and routing between them. Eventually, a case study is conducted in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkish Red Crescent to illustrate the practicality and validity of the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
