Platelet ordering policies at hospitals using stochastic integer programming model and heuristic approaches to reduce wastage

[Display omitted] •Hospitals waste a significant amount of blood platelets due to demand uncertainty.•Stochastic integer programming model is developed to determine ordering policy.•Model is computationally complex and hence three heuristic policies are proposed.•Best policies for several cost, dema...
