According to their need, regional blood centers collect donated blood and distribute processed blood to the blood transfusion centers. The prediction of blood components to be demanded by transfusion centers becomes of more importance, especially these days when the impact of COVID-19 is increasing. Since donors are afraid to go to blood donation centers, blood component stocks rapidly decrease. This study aims to predict the blood transfusion centers' demand for quantities of red blood cells, an important blood component, from a regional blood center using the artificial neural network method. The method's parameters values affect the prediction performance of the method. Therefore, the Taguchi method is integrated with artificial neural network methods to optimize the parameters. The prediction results of the integrated Taguchi-artificial neural network approach, artificial neural network method, and ridge regression method are each compared with the actual demand of regional blood centers. It is determined that the integrated Taguchi-artificial neural network approach predicts actual demand more accurately.
