FIFO systems – the first in, first out warehouse principle

Keeping complex processes clear is always a challenge for organisation professionals. Whether in the warehouse or when processing customer orders, the FIFO principle has proven itself. FIFO was developed in the spirit of continuous improvement and stands for "First in – First out".

The FIFO principle is simple and requires simple organisational tools.

In the warehouse, FIFO prevents slow-moving products from getting stuck and goods from spoiling or becoming obsolete. When processing jobs, the FIFO principle sets a sensible order based on incoming orders. This prevents orders from waiting too long and customers from being annoyed by slow lead times. Below you will find a selection of FIFO systems that have already proven themselves in practice.
