Bennis Idriss . Improving the Performance of a Blood Transfusion Center through Modeling and Simulation: Case of the Casablanca Regional Blood Transfusion Center. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 12, 38 ( July 2021), 6-11. DOI=10.5120/ijais2021451914
Over the years, the hospital sector in general and blood transfusion more particularly has not ceased to evolve and implicitly become more complex, it becomes all the more difficult to respond efficiently to the various organizational problems encountered without having recourse management and decision support methods; in particular, the modeling and simulation approach has proven its effectiveness. This study focuses on the component of blood transfusion in general and aims to contribute more particularly to a better understanding of the organizational functioning of a blood transfusion center in Morocco through the development of a simulation model. Discrete events under Arena. To respond to the problem of blood shortage, a scenario simulating a peak of activity linked to a massive arrival of donors following an awareness campaign is simulated in order to analyze the behavior of the center in the face of this sudden change.
