Automated inventory rotation management skill ensuring proper product flow based on expiration, production, or receipt dates

General

What this skill does


# FIFO-LIFO Controller

## Overview

The FIFO-LIFO Controller is an automated skill that manages inventory rotation to ensure proper product flow based on expiration dates, production dates, or receipt dates. It enforces First-In-First-Out (FIFO), First-Expired-First-Out (FEFO), or Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) policies and manages lot tracking and shelf life compliance.

## Capabilities

- **FIFO Enforcement at Pick Time**: Ensure oldest inventory is picked first based on receipt or production date
- **FEFO (First Expired First Out) Management**: Prioritize inventory with nearest expiration dates for picking
- **Lot and Batch Tracking**: Maintain complete traceability of inventory by lot, batch, or serial number
- **Expiration Date Alerting**: Generate alerts for inventory approaching expiration thresholds
- **Shelf Life Calculation**: Calculate remaining shelf life and predict expiration risk
- **Product Hold Management**: Manage inventory holds for quality, recall, or compliance reasons
- **Compliance Documentation**: Generate documentation for regulatory compliance and audit requirements

## Tools and Libraries

- WMS APIs
- Lot Tracking Systems
- Shelf Life Databases
- Compliance Management Tools

## Used By Processes
