Resumen

The storage and transportation of drugs in a cold chain logistics activity are more rigorously within distribution channels, due to the rupture of the cold chain or sudden changes in temperature would cause the deterioration of the goods in custody generating even deadly risk to the users of these. Thus the critical control points must be monitored constantly throughout the supply chain to guarantee customers the medicine in the best condition. The present study was conducted in a leading drug companies in the Eje Cafetero called EVE DISTRIBUTIONS SAS has currently handling cold chain within its three distribution channels but lack of knowledge or resources are not adequate to control equipment cold chain as critical operations such as transport. To develop the proposed improvement is well analyzed and academic literature sources, four drug distributors operating with cold chain (DROMAYOR, LOCATEL, SUPER STORES OLIMPICA, CAFAM), in order to observe the strengths and weaknesses of their processes distribution deducting the critical factors that must integrate a model of cold chain logistics thought high quality standards. Thus research to design and propose a model that considers each of the critical control points to be taken into account when the storage and transportation of drugs fridge, proper temperatures and other components and organoleptic characteristics drugs and improve health care for people.
