Morning All,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to effectively manage a FIFEO system

I currently manage a production area that manufactures small scale, fast turn around medicines. As part of the internal supply chain, a dispensary controls stock levels. We operate a FIFEO system but a recent audit found that 50% of our stock did not comply.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards

@rickizebik Excuse my ignorance but I have no clue what FIFEO is but I assume it is some version of first in first out. I am not real sure how you are set up or what size your material is but one of the simplest ways to control it is by gravity feed racks.

Just my opinion.

FIFEO is First in First Expiry Out
Therefore its not allways as simple as new stock goes to the back.
Stock is sorted in expiry date order with smallest shelf life at the front. I cuurently use gravity feed racks but the issue seems to be with the stock going to the correct poin in the line if that makes sense?

Stock size ranges from a general paracetamol 16pk of tablets upto a 5kg tub of API.
