title: [Improvement and process optimization transfusion in Morocco: proposal of a new organization].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Propose a new organization for the Moroccan blood transfusion system.
  
  
  METHODS
  Through an analysis of several aspects of the current organization, both qualitatively and quantitatively (Statistics 2011), it was found that several failures of the current system prevent them from achieving it's objectives and ensuring its responsibilities. Using multiple-criteria decision analysis (ELECTRE III), a new organization based on resources pooling is proposed. This new organization concerns the status of the National Blood Transfusion Center, donor management, the geographical location of the various regional centers, logistics, inventory management and the information system.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Within the new organization proposed, the number of regional Centers for blood transfusion is reduced from 16 to 7 in accordance with the existing constraints, while redefining the roles of each site. The aspects of inventory management, the information system, increasing the number of donors, the policy communication and marketing and cycle of blood collection and distribution are also redefined.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This proposed new organization will provide decision makers with the necessary assistance for decision making, whit respect to the improvement of the entire system Moroccan blood transfusion system. And so help achieving the desired objectives on ensuring blood availability and it' maximum safety. The simulation of this proposal should confirm the choice that was made. Further analysis of complementary aspects such as the financial aspect or human resources, would moreover contribute to refining this proposal.
