Open AccessA Benders decomposition approach for planning home blood donations
Blood donations are crucial for the health system. We consider the problem of planning blood donation services, where the donors are reached at home. The scope is to minimize the penalty for the unserved donor...

Open AccessA three-stage matheuristic for home blood donation appointment reservation and collection routing
In Western countries, the so-called Blood Donation Supply Chain (BDSC) provides blood units to several health services. Its first echelon is the collection of unit from donors, which requires a careful managem...

Open AccessA gradient-based optimization method with functional principal component analysis for efficient structural topology optimization
Structural topology optimization (STO) is usually treated as a constrained minimization problem, which is iteratively addressed by solving the equilibrium equations for the problem under consideration. To redu...

Open AccessHome care vehicle routing problem with chargeable overtime and strict and soft preference matching
A new scheduling problem arising in the home care context is addressed, whose novelty with respect to the literature lies in the way overtime is paid. In this problem, some clients are willing to pay a higher ...

A stochastic risk-averse framework for blood donation appointment scheduling under uncertain donor arrivals
Blood is a key resource in all health care systems, usually drawn from voluntary donors. We focus on the operations management in blood collection centers, which is a key step to guarantee an adequate blood su...

An optimization tool to dimension innovative home health care services with devices and disposable materials
Home health care (HHC) consists of care services provided to patients at their domicile rather than in hospitals or other health facilities. HHC human resources are largely studied in the optimization literatu...

Uncertainty in the Blood Donation Appointment Scheduling: Key Factors and Research Perspectives
We consider the management of a blood collection center, which includes the features of both a production system and a service provider. In particular, we analyze the scheduling of donors and the related appoi...
