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. | en_US |
