  7. Abstract:
  8. This Thesis presents a robust network design model for supplying blood during and after an earthquake disaster. A two stage optimization model based on several real-world scenarios is developed. The purpose of this research is to locate and allocate fixed and mobile facilities in probabilistic situation, in which Tehran city with 22 districts is considered as a case study. This model can be categorized as a probabilistic model which demand and supply rate for blood and its derivatives is uncertain. Furthermore the blood transition between different blood types and conversion to its derivatives such as Platelet and plasma are involved in the proposed model. The supply chain for blood consists of three layers as, blood donors in all of 22Tehran districts, blood collecting facilities and blood transfusion headquarter; which is in charge of collecting, conserving and distribution of blood. As a result and regarding the robustness of the model, the objective function will amount to 982,282.2 dollars and 13 fixed facilities will be constructed in different districts. Due to the robustness approach 18 real scenarios are considered to be used in checking the results and sensitivity analysis of the model.
