Abstract
The cold chain maintains and transports fresh food in the correct temperature range for slow biological decay processes and delivers safe, high-quality food to customers. Ensuring that quality and efficiency are not affected by the supply chain of cold chain products is a goal. Therefore, this paper proposes the intelligent time scheduling management model (ITSMM) based on cloud computing and a web-based platform for cold-chain logistics and distribution systems. This paper establishes a time scheduling model to reduce the overall order operation cost, diminish the variance among the expected and actual time of finalizing the service orders, and improve useful logistics service providers' satisfaction. Data, including all cold chain phases (distributors, industry, consumers, and retailers), have been gathered. This paper examines the distribution cost and time refrigerated vehicles, thus instituting a cold chain distribution vehicle path optimization.
