Introduction to food and health products cold chain management
The cold chain is an essential element of our contemporary societies to feed and care for the populations, with multiple stakes in particular sanitary, environmental and economic:
- 90% of food poisoning in the world is due to poor management of the cold chain
- According to the WHO, nearly 70% of manufactured vaccines are lost for the same reasons
- Cold production represents 8 to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 20% of global electricity consumption
- Nearly half of what is produced each year in Canada is lost or wasted, about 15% of these losses are due to cold chain breaks.
During this webinar we will discuss
- The major issues of the cold chain
- The means and equipment of the cold chain
- Best practices for a safe and sustainable cold chain.
OBJECTIVES
- “To understand the major cold chain challenges
- To develop awareness of cold chain means and equipment and their performances
- To identify and present the best practices
- To present potential improvements and savings that can be realized”.
PROGRAM

Disruptions in the supply chain are not new and will certainly rear its ugly head in the future. We don’t have a crystal ball to tell you when that will happen but being prepared is the next best thing. Think of it as a marathon, you would much rather be running with the leaders at the front.
Unpredictable & vulnerable supply chains enhance the need for agile, accurate, resilient and scalable solutions. Integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, scenario planning and predictive analytics will be your leg up on the current and future disruptions.
