摘要
摘要食品浪费是一个全球性问题,欧盟5%的零售部门对此负有责任。零售层面食物浪费的原因包括:不良的顾客行为、包装不当、需求不规律、过高估计的交付量、较小的商店面积和仓库空间、商店不适当的补货政策以及产品质量要求的提高。要求商店保持货架满,以及不适当的仓储物流导致产品积压,这种安排无视先进先出原则。它有助于扩大食品产量,并可能导致过期产品的出现,这是食品浪费的最常见原因[Fedeccja Polskich BankówŻywności2020]。该研究的目的是评估先进先出系统在专业商店、折扣店和提供有机食品的大型商店中的功能。为了评估先进先出系统,对商店进行了突击检查。在检查过程中,发现了根据先进先出系统排列产品的错误。被发现失灵的物品既有长期产品,也有短期产品,既存放在冷藏库中,也存放在常规货架上,这表明商店在所有部门的存储物流方面都存在问题。在这方面改进解决方案并实施适当措施可以减少零售层面的食品浪费。
Assessment of the Impact of the Functioning of the FIFO on the Occurrence of Organic Products with an Exceeded Use-By Date
Abstract Food waste is a global problem with 5% of the European Union's (EU's) retail sector responsible. The reasons cited for food waste at retail level among others: undesirable customer behaviour, inadequate packaging, irregular demand, overestimated deliveries, small store area and warehouse space, inappropriate replenishment policies in shops and increased product quality requirements. The requirement to keep shelves full in stores and inappropriate storage logistics lead to overstocking of products, the arrangement of which disregards the first in-first out (FIFO) principle. It contributes to the amplification of food take-offs and may lead to the occurrence of products with exceeded use-by dates, which is the most common cause of food wastage [Federacja Polskich Banków Żywności 2020]. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functioning of the FIFO system in specialist stores, discount stores and large-format stores that have organic food on offer. To evaluate the FIFO system, unannounced inspections were conducted in the stores. During the inspections, errors in the arrangement of products according to the FIFO system were detected. The items found to be out of order were both long and short-dated products, stored in refrigerated as well as on regular shelves, indicating that stores have a problem with storage logistics in all departments. Improving solutions and implementing appropriate measures in this area could reduce food wastage at the retail level.
期刊介绍:
The journal ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND NATURAL RESOURCES is a publication which addresses the issues of broadly understood environmental protection and publishes research and review papers. All these articles and papers are peer-reviewed. Interdisciplinary studies published by specialists in various fields present reciprocal relationships between the reactions taking place in the environment which are connected with natural element cycle and at the same time reflect both natural processes and human impacts. Themes of the works also concern socio-economic and technical issues at the UE, national, regional and local levels in the context of sustainable development. The main aim of the journal is to promote high level research in all aspects of environment and natural resources protection.
