Outdated Inventory Models Are Costing You Time, Space—and Customers
The supply chain is evolving, but many businesses are still stuck in FIFO or LIFO inventory models that no longer meet the pace of modern commerce. These traditional systems often result in product expirations, storage overflow, and inefficient delivery routes—especially in sectors like healthcare, cosmetics, and food.
So, what’s the smarter, more scalable alternative?
Welcome to FEFO: First Expired, First Out—a method designed to prioritize freshness, reduce waste, and optimize every inch of your warehouse.
What Is FEFO and Why Does It Matter?
FEFO (First Expired, First Out) is an advanced inventory management technique where items with the earliest expiration dates are shipped out first—regardless of arrival time. Unlike FIFO logistics (first in, first out) or LIFO (last in, first out), FEFO directly tackles the challenge of stock rotation and shelf-life management, ensuring that aging inventory doesn’t sit idle or turn into losses.
It’s especially critical in supply chains that deal with:
Pharmaceuticals
Cosmetics and beauty products
Nutritional supplements
Perishables and food products
The High Cost of Sticking to FIFO/LIFO
Still relying solely on FIFO or LIFO? You’re risking:
Wasted inventory due to expiration
Unreliable order fulfillment
Overstocked warehouse space
Reduced customer satisfaction
In today’s logistics race, traditional systems are no longer enough. Companies need real-time visibility, expiration-based picking, and smart inventory automation.
