Demand-driven blood bank enterprise planning and management system

A method for optimizing collection and usage of a necessary bodily fluid, comprising:

• a) determining an historical demand of the bodily fluid;
• b) measuring a first external contingent factor;
• c) determining real-time changes to the historical demand;
• d) creating a fixed donor recruitment plan and a mobile donor recruitment plan based at least in part on the historical demand, the external contingent factor, and the real-time changes to the historical demand;
• e) implementing the fixed donor recruitment plan to recruit a fixed number of donors;
• f) determining estimated fixed units based at least in part on the fixed number of donors and a second external contingent factor;
• g) implementing the mobile donor recruitment plan to recruit a mobile number of donors;
• h) determining estimated mobile units based at least in part on the mobile number of donors and a third external contingent factor;
• i) collecting total units of the necessary bodily fluid;
• and
• j) calculating a variance between the total units, the estimated fixed units, and the estimated mobile units to produce a first real-time demand-driven adjustment.
