Cold Chain Management

A cold chain is the temperature-controlled production, storage, and distribution of climate-sensitive goods in supply chain management.

A cold chain process is a temperature-controlled action or step in the production, storage, and distribution of climate-sensitive goods.

A cold chain project is an undertaking, carried out individually or collaboratively and possibly involving research or design, to achieve the temperature-controlled production, storage, and distribution of climate-sensitive goods in a supply chain. 

The main components of a cold chain are manufacturing, transport and storage, personnel, and all associated equipment, processes, and procedures.

Cold chain transport is the temperature-controlled movement of climate-sensitive goods from one place to another.

Cold chain management is the oversight of climate-sensitive goods as they move through the supply chain.

Cold chain storage is storing climate-sensitive goods within a specified temperature range.

Cold chain technology is software and equipment used to control the temperature of climate-sensitive goods during production, storage, and distribution.
