ChecklistGuro Perishable Goods Expiration Tracking Process
Eliminate waste and boost profitability with our automated Perishable Goods Expiration Tracking Process. This streamlined workflow optimizes inventory rotation using FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) principles, providing real-time alerts for approaching expiration dates to prevent shrinkage, ensure food safety, and maximize the shelf life of your temperature-sensitive stock.
Start
Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Fetch Expiring Inventory
Retrieve all entries from the 'Inventory' data model where the expiration date is within the next 7 days.
2. Calculate Total Value at Risk
Sum the 'Unit Cost' of all retrieved expiring entries to determine the total financial impact of potential waste.
3. Calculate Waste Percentage
Calculate the ratio of expiring goods value against the total warehouse inventory value.
4. Flag Items for Clearance
Update the 'Status' field in the Inventory data model to 'Clearance Required' for the identified expiring entries.
5. Assign Re-pricing Task
Create a task for the Floor Manager to physically inspect the items and apply discount stickers.
6. Create Disposal Task
Create a task for the Warehouse Staff to remove and dispose of items that have already passed their expiration date.
7. Notify Procurement Team
Send an email to the procurement department regarding the need to replenish stock for items marked as 'Clearance Required'.
8. Alert Warehouse Supervisor
Send an SMS alert to the supervisor if the 'Total Value at Risk' exceeds a predefined threshold.
9. Generate Waste Log Entry
Create a new entry in the 'Waste Logs' data model to document the items that were officially disposed of.
10. Weekly Expiration Summary Report
Generate a summary report containing all aggregated data regarding expired goods and total loss for the weekly management review.
11. Remove Expired Records from Active Stock
Delete or archive the entries from the 'Active Inventory' data model once they have been moved to the 'Waste Log'.
