Abstract : This is a template and guidelines for, First In, First Out (FIFO) inventory management technique within manufac-turing settings based on its potential of making production more efficient and with minimal work-in-progress (WIP) inventories. It delves deeper into the theoretical framework that explains FIFO through its concepts and benefits against other inventory management systems. Further, it addresses actual case studies and empirical evidence to validate practical outcomes of imple-menting FIFO in varied manufacturing contexts. [6] The paper elaborates further on how FIFO permits free flow of materials since the oldest inventory is acquired first, thus preventing obsolescence and waste build-up. Further, it establishes that it ensures optimal levels of inventory so that overproduction and excess build up of inventory is avoided. Through synthesis of existing literature and industry insights, the research delivers an explanation regarding the mechanisms by which FIFO improves production efficiency and reduces cycle times.
