Abstract
Logistics processes have been analyzed as one of the most critical expense items for companies. Companies that failed to manage their logistics processes well could not reach the desired growth rates, and some even disappeared. Logistics management without process optimizations can be time and money consuming for the companies. Logistics processes significantly influence organizations' efficiency. Logistic professionals should keep the process flow quality at a certain level, and some decision problems should be analyzed and answered well. Location selection of a warehouse is one of the most crucial decision problems of supply chain and logistics management. Alternatives are evaluated in quantitative and qualitative criteria to decide the best location alternative using scientific MCDM techniques. Different scientific methods have been developed and used to solve this problem. As for this study, the aim is to investigate the warehouse location selection of third-party cold chain logistics suppliers. The importance of keeping perishable products under the right conditions increased, since it is realized that cold chain warehousing and transportation prevent the product spoiled. Organizations can save their funds and time by having effective cold chain management. This study's main scope is to give a new scientific perspective for warehouse selection in cold chain logistics. MCDM technique of Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Fuzzy (IVNF) EDAS method has been used to evaluate essential criteria and choose the best option. Critical cities of Gulf Region countries have been considered alternatives in a numerical illustration.

Summary
We all have a different kinds of needs during the day. These needs can be material, information, or money, and somehow they have to reach us. Since logistics is a process with a lot of input and output, it is necessary to make accurate analyses to reach maximum efficiency To this end, scientific studies have been conducted with different methods from past to present. This study's main scope is to give an alternative point of view for warehouse location selection in the Arabian Gulf region's cold chain logistics that consists of seven states. These are Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and UAE. The final section recommends potential studies that can be done in the future
