What is Cold Chain?
Cold Chain Management is the process of moving temperature sensitive products through the supply chain while maintaining a temperature controlled environment. Once a temperature sensitive product is manufactured, that product may be stored in a warehouse, shipped in a truck, train or on an airplane, and then stored in a subsequent warehouse prior to reaching the retailer and consumer. Assuring that the product remains in an environmentally controlled setting and maintaining the product at its required temperature throughout the entire supply chain is the basis of Cold Chain Management.

Problems Today
A large portion of goods moving around the globe require cold chain management to prevent
spoilage. The agricultural industry and the food chain as a whole present difficult challenges
which require complex cold chain management. Fresh and frozen foods must maintain at a
variety of temperatures to prevent the food from spoiling in very different environments such as
warehouses, manufacturing facilities, fields, trucks, etc. Lack of cold chain controls and food
spoilage causes buyers to reject the shipments. The farmer, distributor or manufacturer then lose
the value of the entire shipment. Tragically, lack of cold chain controls and food spoilage also
leads to severe illness and even death.
The pharmaceutical industry is also dependent on a complex but secure and reliable cold chain to
maintain the value of their products and brands. Improper or ineffective cold chain controls
cause temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals lose efficacy and become ineffective when
administrated or worse yet, various chemical reactions can take place in certain medications
rendering them not only ineffective, but toxic and dangerous. Pharmaceutical companies are
unavoidably the target of lawsuits. Proper cold chain management helps ensure that medications
reach patients with the maximin efficacy, minimizing liability from ineffective medications.
