In cold chain transport, every handover point is a potential break in temperature control – process mapping makes these risks visible before they become incidents. It charts the complete journey of a temperature-sensitive shipment: pre-cooling at origin, loading, transhipment nodes, border crossings, and final delivery, each annotated with permitted temperature ranges, monitoring equipment, and responsible parties. The resulting map serves as a working document for operational control, supplier audits, and regulatory compliance under standards such as GDP or HACCP.
