Detailed explanation-2: -Last In, First Out (LIFO) stock rotation is a system that allows most recently stored items to be picked out first, meaning new stock takes priority over older stock. This particularly suited for businesses who want to maximise storage and operating capacity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Food stock rotation consists in using products with an earlier use-by-date first and moving products with a later sell-by date to the back of the shelf. This ensures that food is used within date and prevents unnecessary and costly waste (of food that has passed its expiry date).
