A Tip for the Day: FIFO

Posted July 21, 2009

Follow the FIFO principle.

What’s FIFO?

FIFO is first in first out inventory management. Oldest dated product needs to be used first. So when the delivery is made, make sure the newest product is put behind the product you already have in stock.

This system insures product quality and reduces waste. Both of which affect your bottom line.
