[0003] The first-in first-out principle means that when the drug is out of the warehouse, the drug that is first put into the warehouse should be out first. The purpose of this is to prevent the drug from deteriorating or expiring due to long-term storage. If the first-in first-out principle is not followed, the drug that is put into the warehouse later may be sent out first, while the drug that is put into the warehouse first may be stored in the warehouse for a long time, increasing the risk of drug quality.

[0004] The near-term first-out principle means that drugs that are close to their expiration date should be given priority in being sent out of the warehouse. For drugs that are about to reach their expiration date, more attention should be paid and they should be given priority in being sent out of the warehouse. This is to ensure that the drug can be used reasonably within the effective period and to avoid waste and economic loss caused by the expiration of the drug.

[0005] The easy-to-change first-out principle means that drugs that are prone to deterioration should be sent out of the warehouse first. Because of the different characteristics of drugs, some drugs are more sensitive to storage conditions, such as certain biological products and drugs containing special ingredients, which are easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light and thus deteriorate. When the drug is out of the warehouse, priority should be given to sending out these easy-to-change drugs to reduce their storage time in the warehouse and thus ensure the quality of the drug.
