Cold Chain Logistics Management

This specialized training focuses on the unique challenges and requirements of transporting temperature sensitive goods, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and biological materials. It covers temperature control, monitoring, packaging, and regulatory compliance to ensure product integrity throughout the supply chain. Cold Chain Logistics Management is a specialized training program that equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to efficiently manage temperature sensitive supply chains. It focuses on maintaining product integrity across the logistics lifecycle — from manufacturing and storage to transportation and final delivery. Participants will explore cold chain design, regulatory compliance, risk management, and technologies such as IoT tracking, temperature monitoring systems, and data logging tools. The course blends best practices with real world case studies to enhance operational efficiency, reduce losses, and ensure compliance with international cold chain standards. By the end of the course, participants will be able to: Understand the components and importance of cold chain logistics Identify risks and quality degradation factors in cold chain environments Manage cold storage, refrigerated transport, and controlled handling, apply global regulations and industry standards (GDP, HACCP, WHO), implement monitoring, tracking, and data logging technologies, design cost effective and compliant cold chain networks.
