System dynamics models to assess shortage and wastage levels in demand-driven blood supply chains

The files 2_proposedDonorModule.mdl, 4_proposedBcModule.mdl, and 6_proposedHospitalModule.mdl contain the independently proposed donor, blood center, and hospital modules.

The files 1_Clay-et-al-(2016)_donorModule.mdl, 3_Clay-et-al-(2016)_bcModule.mdl, 5_Clay-et-al-(2016)_hospitalModule.mdl present the donor, blood center, and hospital modules proposed by Clay et al. (2016).

File 7_proposedSingleProduct.mdl incudes the proposed model for the single-product system simulations. File 8_proposedMultipleProduct.mdl contains the proposed model for the multi-product system simulations and sensitivity analysis.
