A Novel Approach Based on CRITIC-MOOSRA Methods for Evaluation and Selection of Cold Chain Monitoring Devices
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Management Decision - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The cold chain industry plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and safety of temperature-sensitive products throughout their journey from production to consumption. Central to this process is the effective monitoring of temperature fluctuations, which directly impacts product integrity. With an array of temperature monitoring devices available in the market, selecting the most suitable option becomes a critical task for organizations operating within the cold chain. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of seven prominent temperature monitoring devices utilized in the cold chain industry. Through a systematic evaluation process, each device is rigorously assessed across six key criteria groups: price, accuracy, usability, monitoring and reporting capabilities, flexibility, and capability. A total of 23 independent metrics are considered within these criteria, providing a holistic view of each device's performance. Building upon this analysis, a robust decision support model is proposed to facilitate the selection process for organizations. The model integrates the findings from the evaluation, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions based on their specific requirements and priorities. Notably, the Chemical Time Temperature Integrators (CTTI) emerge as the top-ranked device, demonstrating superior performance across multiple criteria. The implications of this research extend beyond device selection, offering valuable insights for enhancing cold chain efficiency and product quality. By leveraging the decision support model presented in this study, organizations can streamline their temperature monitoring processes, mitigate risks associated with temperature excursions, and ultimately optimize their cold chain operations. This study serves as a foundation for further research in the field of cold chain management, paving the way for advancements in temperature monitoring technology and strategies. Future studies may explore additional criteria or expand the analysis to include a broader range of devices, contributing to ongoing efforts aimed at improving cold chain sustainability and reliability.
