FEFO
Inventory Management
FEFO (First Expired, First Out)
First Expired, First Out
Inventory rotation rule that consumes the item with the earliest expiration date first.
Examples
- 01In the chilled warehouse, FEFO makes sure the yoghurt pallet with the earliest best-before date is picked first, even if it arrived later.
- 02The warehouse review checks FEFO by location, scanning for pallets with older dates sitting behind newer ones.
- 03Strict FEFO, enforced by the scanner refusing a younger batch, cuts write-offs of expired products from EUR 9,000 to EUR 4,000 a month.
