Supply chains face numerous disruptions in today's dynamic world, and achieving resilience is vital for healthcare systems, especially in the blood supply chain (BSC). However, there are several barriers hindering resilience, and identifying and prioritizing them is essential for developing effective strategies to improve resilience. This study proposes an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach that combines the Best Worst Method (BWM), Delphi, and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) to recognize and prioritize SC resilience barriers in the BSC of Tehran, the largest BSC in Iran. The proposed approach provides real-time results for future improvements, and sensitivity analysis investigates the effects of criteria weights on decision-making. Additionally, the proposed method is compared with two existing methods, namely BWM- VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) and BWM-Weighted Aggregated Sum Prod...

The nature of input materials is changed as long as the product reaches the consumer in many types of manufacturing processes. In designing and improving multi-stage systems, the study of the steps separately may not lead to the greatest possible improvement in the whole system, therefore the study of inputs and outputs of each stage can be effective in improving the output quality characteristics. In this study, the double sampling method is applied for inspection where decision variables are the sample size per sampling time and the maximum amount of defective items in the first and second samples in each stage. Furthermore, uncertainty in parameters such as production, inspection, and replacement costs are included in the objective function and handled by a Monte-Carlo based optimization method. In order to show the efficacies of the proposed method, a numerical example has been designed, and further analyses on solutions have been conducted.
