Abstract

A cold supply chain, also called a temperature-controlled supply chain, is a logistics and supply system that provides a series of facilities for maintaining ideal conditions for goods within a given temperature range, from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Cold supply chains are particularly used for food products. Typically, such supply chains face greater risks and uncertainties owing to issues such as product perishability, the wide variety of products delivered, multiple suppliers of raw materials, short shelf lives, stringent traceability and regulatory requirements, and greater supply chain distances – and thus more handling points and larger networks. This, in turn, creates higher risks of food waste and increases costs; there are also often health risks if spoiled goods end up on the market.
