Warehouse arrivals and departures for a food company are not managed in the same way as for a construction materials company. In a food product warehouse, one of the priorities is to release goods in the same order as they are produced to avoid expiries or loss of freshness of the foods. However, a warehouse for building materials does not require such meticulous rotation because the merchandise is not perishable.<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Incorrect management and deficient organisation of our warehouse stock will affect the rest of the logistics chain. Hence, the importance of knowing about these methods and which one is most appropriate in each case.<\/p><h3>FIFO: First In \u2013 First Out<\/h3><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">In the FIFO method, the first lot of goods to enter the warehouse will be the first one to leave. It prioritises the release of products that have spent the longest time in storage.<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; font-weight: bold;\">When is it advisable to use a FIFO storage solution?<\/span><\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Mainly, for perishable goods with a shelf life. The nature of these products makes it necessary for the first to enter the warehouse to be the first to leave. Otherwise, through incorrect management, we could run the risk of losing the lot nearest to the expiry date.<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">The FIFO method ensures good stock rotation. It is the best solution for storing perishable goods or those with a short life cycle which require a perfect rotation of the stock. Mainly, foods and medicines, for which the expiry date is important. But also, fashion items with a sale season shelf life, or technology products where obsolescence is a determining factor.<\/p><h3>FEFO: First to Expires &#8211; First Out<\/h3><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Related to FIFO, there is a management method called FEFO. This method bases its arrivals and departures on product expiry, therefore the first to expire are the first to leave.<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">If we presume that the first goods to enter the warehouse are the ones with the nearest expiry date, this method would be no different to the FIFO system. However, in some cases, similar goods are in the warehouse but have specific characteristics that make their expiry date different. Therefore, a product made after another one, may expire sooner. In this case, a FEFO system would be more appropriate than a FIFO.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1294ce0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1294ce0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-title=\"fifo-lifo_EN\" width=\"1024\" height=\"261\" src=\"https:\/\/polypal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fifo-lifo_EN-4-1024x261.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-36659\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polypal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fifo-lifo_EN-4-1024x261.webp 1024w, https:\/\/polypal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fifo-lifo_EN-4-300x76.webp 300w, https:\/\/polypal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fifo-lifo_EN-4-768x196.webp 768w, https:\/\/polypal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fifo-lifo_EN-4-e1784216010289.webp 760w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60f1ffaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60f1ffaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>LIFO: Last in &#8211; First Out<\/h3><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">In the LIFO method, the last lot of goods to enter the warehouse is the first one to leave.

When stock rotation is not a determining factor, storage systems designed in LIFO mode can be used, as good overall management of the warehouse will ensure the product leaves in ideal condition before expiry or spoiling.<\/p><p style=\"border-style: solid; border-color: #e5e7eb; --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin: 0px 0px 16px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">If the goods stored are mostly homogenous, do not require exhaustive stock rotation and moreover, have a large number of pallets per reference, a warehouse layout with a LIFO system can be chosen. In this case, the LIFO method will allow maximum use to be made of the available warehouse space and will guarantee that the product leaves the stock without losing its characteristics.<\/p><p>Now
