Research on Home Delivery Model of Food Cold Chain Based on Multi-Temperature Joint Distribution
For perishables and temperature sensitive products (PTSPs) logistics, a special type of supply chain management called cold chain management (CCM) has been established. Temperature monitoring and control are essential mechanisms in CCM, because they are necessary for maintaining food safety and quality. However, they are costly to logistics service providers (LSPs). In this paper, a home delivery model which based on the advancement of the Multi-Temperature Joint Distribution system, namely MTJD, is being proposed for the food cold chain. The MTJD-based home delivery model increases truck capacity utilization while not delaying delivery, and accordingly realizes an innovative logistics model to minimize distribution cost while improving consumer satisfaction. At the same time, it facilitates innovation in logistics services and gives the logistics sector a competitive advantage in the area of thermal protection for PTSPs.
