A standard for quality indicators in cold chains describes the quality management system of an organization that wants to demonstrate its ability to continuously supply high quality cold chain services.
CCQI, the Cold Chain Quality Indicator, is a benchmarking system that accesses the logistics capacity of a cold chain in order to maintain a certain temperature during transportation and handling of perishable temperature sensitive products (PTSP).
The implementation of a quality system should begin with a review of company operations for comparison with the model suggested by ISO 9001:2000.
Following the adoption of a quality management system (QMS) a reliable and effective team will have to be formed to analyze the company’s management and establish the activities to be carried out according to the QMS selected.
