7.4 FEFO
Purpose:
FEFO is the best inventory control method to ensure less spoilage and avoid the risk of non-compliance with Bateel quality standards as well as municipal regulations.
FEFO (first expired, first out): FEFO is an inventory management method that allows the products with the shortest shelf-life to be used and displayed first. This is a simple, highly effective inventory management method that prioritizes the handling and moving of date sensitive inventory. The FEFO method requires, regardless of the date of receiving the stock from the warehouse, that items with the earliest expiration date (or shortest shelf-life) be handled and sold first. The FEFO method is most practiced in the food and gourmet industries, where expiration dates and shelf-life cycles are of critical importance.
