Backpropagation and fuzzy algorithm Modelling to Resolve Blood Supply Chain Issues in the Covid-19 Pandemic
It addresses blood supply chain problems for healthcare systems during a pandemic, but appears incremental as it applies existing methods to a specific local context.
This study tackled blood distribution issues during the Covid-19 pandemic in Bengkulu, Indonesia, by using a Backpropagation algorithm to identify available and potential donors, with variables like age and distance measured to select suitable donors.
Bloodstock shortages and its uncertain demand has become a major problem for all countries worldwide. Therefore, this study aims to provide solution to the issues of blood distribution during the Covid-19 Pandemic at Bengkulu, Indonesia. The Backpropagation algorithm was used to improve the possibility of discovering available and potential donors. Furthermore, the distances, age, and length of donation were measured to obtain the right person to donate blood when it needed. The Backpropagation uses three input layers to classify eligible donors, namely age, body, weight, and bias. In addition, the system through its query automatically counts the variables via the Fuzzy Tahani and simultaneously access the vast database.
