A two-stage fuzzy optimization model for scarce drugs supply and ration planning under uncertainty: A case study

The scarce drugs rationing is a serious challenge in the public health system. This study proposes a two-stage linear programming model for the scarce drug rationing problem which reflects the conflicts of interest between supply chain members. The proposed model uses a rolling horizon planning mechanism along with an iterative procedure for supplying and rationing the scarce drugs. The maximization of minimum suppliers’ profit and the...
