Operational setup of how FIFO / Process Map on Lithium Batteries is done

[tahirawan11]

Hi,

I would like to know if someone has an FIFO instructions / Process map available which describes the operational setup of how FIFO is done. We have identified 'Lithium batteries' as a critical item due to short shelf life. The batteries are supplied by a supplier and then assembled in our factories in our product and then the product is shipped to a warehouse from where they are shipped to the dealers. I need to define a FIFO process which describes instructions for doing the FIFO on batteries. Can anyone have any example / experience to share?

Thanks

*i'm no expert but will share to you something, but i know you already know the FIFO.
*since it's First In First Out basis, correct me if i'm wrong.
*then you should first know the expiration of the batteries supplied. The meaning of expired for batteries is different from the expired used when talking about food products. When a battery is expired, it means that the battery's manufacturer can no longer guarantee that the battery has a full life or charge. More specifically battery expiration dates are based upon when the batteries total self discharge will exceed 20%.
*then after that you should know the supplied battery's discharge rates. since it's lithium batteries, i'm sure you know it already.
