Cold chain management is widely considered one of the most challenging types of supply chain management. Temperature-sensitive goods must maintain temperature integrity for the entirety of their journeys. Accurate tracking throughout the distribution process is critical to ensure the goods stayed in the proper temperature range at all times to ensure product safety and integrity. 

Join this microlearning to learn the fundamentals of cold chain operations across industries. You’ll explore how products from delicious ice cream to lifesaving medications move from origin to final delivery, the temperature controls required at each stage, and why even brief temperature deviations can have serious downstream impacts.
