| Abstract: | In this paper we provide an overview of the recent contributions in the area of blood bank inventory management and relate them to the challenges in the Indian context. We study the current blood-banking scenario in India and identify challenges that are peculiar to Indian blood banks. We review the role of formal methods in analyzing the complex blood bank inventory management problem and identify the existing research gaps in the context of blood banks. We conclude the paper by identifying several opportunities for micro modeling in the context of Indian blood banks. |
