Article Citation - Scopus: 8A Partial Coverage Hierarchical Location Allocation Model for Health Services(Inderscience Publishers, 2023) Karasakal, O.; Karasakal, E.; Töreyen, Ö.We consider a hierarchical maximal covering location problem (HMCLP) to locate health centres and hospitals so that the maximum demand is covered by two levels of services in a successively inclusive hierarchy. We extend the HMCLP by introducing the partial coverage and a new definition of the referral. The proposed model may enable an informed decision on the healthcare system when dynamic adaptation is required, such as a COVID-19 pandemic. We define the referral as coverage of health centres by hospitals. A hospital may also cover demand through referral. The proposed model is solved optimally for small problems. For large problems, we propose a customised genetic algorithm. Computational study shows that the GA performs well, and the partial coverage substantially affects the optimal solutions. © 2023 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.Article A Partial Coverage Hierarchical Location Allocation Model for Health Services(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2023) Karasakal, Esra; Toreyen, Ozgun; Karasakal, OrhanWe consider a hierarchical maximal covering location problem (HMCLP) to locate health centres and hospitals so that the maximum demand is covered by two levels of services in a successively inclusive hierarchy.

[Submitted: 20 January 2021; Accepted: 15 January 2022]Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5A Blood Distribution Problem With New Transportation Options - an Application for the Turkish Red Crescent(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2019) Azizoglu, Meral; Kurt, Atil; Cetinkaya, Ferda CanThis paper considers the blood distribution problem in the Central Anatolian Regional Blood Centre of the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) and proposes several demand satisfaction options considering the irradiation centres, urgent demands, and product availability. Our aim is to maximise the total weighted blood demand satisfaction. To address the problem, we develop a mixed integer linear programming model and propose a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA). The results of our experiments have revealed that the mathematical model cannot handle even small sized problem instances in reasonable times; however, the hybrid genetic algorithm is capable of handling complex daily operations of the Turkish Red Crescent.
