 According to a recent study of the $76 billion global
pharmaceutical logistics delivery market, more than 30
percent of deliveries are reaching their destination
with some degree of damage or spoilage.

Roughly one-third of the food produced globally

is wasted, with much of that loss occurring along the
global supply chain.
The main elements of a cold chain involve:
•Cooling systems. Bringing commodities such as food to the appropriate
temperature for processing, storage, and transportation.
•Cold storage. Providing facilities for the storage of goods over a period of time,
either waiting to be ship to a distant market, at an intermediary location for
processing and distribution, and close to the market for distribution.
•Cold transport. Having conveyances available to move goods while
maintaining stable temperature and humidity conditions as well as protecting
their integrity.
•Cold processing and distribution. Providing facilities for the transformation
and processing of goods as well as ensuring sanitary conditions. Consolidating
and deconsolidating loads (crates, boxes, pallets) for distribution.
Traceability

• Traceability is the ability to trace all processes from procurement of
raw materials to production, consumption and disposal to clarify
"when and where the product was produced by whom."
Better Temperature Monitoring Technology – Through advancements in
technology, it is possible to monitor the temperature and conditions of
pharmaceutical shipments through the entire cold chain process. One
method of monitoring temperature conditions is to include a small device
called a temperature data logger along with the shipment. These devices can
measure temperature, shock, humidity, and vibration. Once the shipment is
delivered the data can be manually uploaded into a system. More advanced
reefers are equipped with monitoring equipment that allows for satellite
recording of temperatures through the entire shipment. If the temperature
deviates, alarms will signal the fluctuation allowing for backup mechanisms to
prevent spoilage of cargo. This continuous monitoring throughout transport
reassures that temperature sensitive cargo has reached its destination in
perfect condition.

Follow Loading Patterns
Loading and unloading products adds several complex
factors to the cold chain process. After confirming correct
product temperatures, inspect condition of equipment to
verify it’s in proper working order. Shippers should
oversee loading to ensure there’s sufficient space for air to
pass between pallets, air chutes, walls, the ceiling, and
floor.
Maintain Cold Chain Records
Temperature charts can be viewed online where they
remain archived for quality and safety audit and to support
potential claims with carriers.
Businesses create different SKUs(Stock keeping  Segregation
units) for its goods and services. For example,
a store that sells shoes creates internal SKUs that show
a product's details, such as color, size, style, price,
manufacturer, and brand. For example, the SKU for
purple Ugg boots in the Bailey Bow style, size 6, may read
"UGG-BB-PUR-06."

Putting all SKUs together

Separate the perishable cargo from dry boxes / pallets

using a partition.
