血液為一種易腐性產品，品質會隨著時間及環境影響而有所減少，再加上血液的取得需要仰賴民眾的熱心捐贈，在供給上相當不穩定，因此如何有效減少血液的過期及浪費就相當重要。此外，礙於法規上的限制，鮮少有人討論血液調貨的情況。本研究假設各醫院在(s,S)存貨策略下，以最小化血液供應鏈成本及最大化平均血液存貨剩餘壽命為目標，透過非凌越排序基因演算法及模擬方法的結合來求解出各醫院的在未調貨情況下最佳存貨參數，並與調貨的存貨模型在血液的因缺貨產生緊急訂購數量、過期數量等血液供應鏈評估指標上進行比較。
本研究以壽命最短的血小板作為驗證對象，發現調貨機制能夠對於血液供應鏈總成本及平均存貨剩餘壽命有正面的效果，尤其最大存貨規則及最小運輸成本規則的效果較部分調貨更佳，總成本在最大存貨規則下改善比例達34.32%、在最小運輸成本規則下改善比例達34.29%及在部分調貨規則下改善比例達8.59%，而平均存貨剩餘壽命在以上三種調貨規則下分別改善比例達4.35%、4.28%及1.06%。

Blood is a perishable product which reduces the quality over time. In addition, the supply of blood is very unstable because it is obtained through public donations. In the past, the research including blood lateral transshipment is rarely discussed due to legal restrictions. In this study, the optimal inventory parameters for each hospital under (s,S) policy are solved by a combination of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II and simulation to minimize the blood supply chain cost and maximize the average remaining blood life. We use the number of emergency order, expiration, total cost of blood supply chain and the average remaining life to evaluate the performance of lateral transshipment.
In this study, we use the daily demand data of platelets for four hospitals to simulate and found that the lateral transshipment has a positive effect on the total cost of blood supply chain and average remaining blood life. In particular, the maximum inventory rule and the minimum transportation cost rule were more effective than the one-way transshipment rule, with an improvement of 34.32% in total cost under the maximum inventory rule, 34.29% of improvement under the minimum transportation cost rule, and 8.5% of improvement under the one-way transshipment rule. The average remaining blood life is improved by 4.35%, 4.28% and 1.06% under the above three transshipment rules.
