Abstract

The management and supply of blood are critical yet considered a challenging exercise within the healthcare industry. The inventory managers within the sector concerned with blood storage and transportation always focus on their consumers’ effective and timely responses. A lack of blood during emergencies significantly impacts patients’ lives needing a blood transfusion. On the other hand, blood transfusion to needy patients must be effective and timely, requiring adequate transportation and supply chain policies. A weak transportation system could lead to blood shortages, delivery inefficiencies, and even contamination during the process. There are few blood donors globally; therefore, any wastage due to a poor delivery solution is ineffective. The current review aims to offer a comparative study of blood delivery within crowded cities, specifically using cars and motorcycles as the leading delivery solutions. Based on the systematic literature review, the most effective and responsive blood delivery system in a congested city may be identified considering SC costs, time availability, and emergency severity. The present research provides a comparative analysis of the available blood delivery systems in a congested city. It also helps the stakeholders to take quick and responsive decisions quickly.
