Drug expiration losses cost average hospitals hundreds of thousands of rupees annually. FEFO stock management ensures drugs near expiration are dispensed first.
What is FEFO Inventory Control?
First Expiry, First Out (FEFO) prioritizes dispensing drug batches with the closest expiration date rather than the arrival date.
Barcode & Batch Number Tracking
Barcode scanning at dispensing counters automatically selects the earliest expiring batch, preventing pharmacists from accidentally selling newer stock.
Financial Impact of Zero Expiry Losses
Pharmacies adopting automated FEFO alerts report a 90% reduction in expired drug write-offs within 6 months.
