First In First Out (F.I.F.O.

)
It is a system for keeping track of orders in which information or materials are processed.
The goal of FIFO is to prevent earlier orders from being delayed in favour of newer orders
which would result in increased lead time and unhappy customers regarding the earlier
orders.
Note: FIFO can usually be implemented in a very straightforward fashion and makes a good
deal of sense on an intuitive and practical level. Where FIFO falls short is the shortcomings
and emotional decisions made by humans to circumvent the system. Customers that are
considered more important than others test the will and commitment of even the most
stalwart FIFO advocates.
