Shelf Life
How to manage shelf life in FMCG supply chains?
Shelf life is the length of time a product remains suitable for sale and consumption. Managing shelf life is critical in African FMCG where cold chain infrastructure is limited, ambient temperatures are high, and distribution times are long. Fresh products (dairy, produce, bakery) require FIFO allocation, expiry-date tracking, and markdown optimization to minimize waste while maximizing revenue capture.
