A Study on Factors Affecting Cold Supply Chain Performance in India

Abstract

The cold chain is an essential part of the supply chain process for perishable products. Recent studies have shown a decisive lack of efficient operational arrangements for cold chain services in developing economies like India. The key integral factors of cold chain industries have been identified on the basis of an extensive literature review as well as analyzing the influencing factors through the KMO Test for identification of the factors of cold chain performance. The end result will establish a relationship between high driving powers with low dependences and high strategic dependencies with low significance. It will also identify the major inhibitors, their role in the operation, and their effect on a cold chain in India.
