Greed is the main thing that lead people to loose there stock, it causes them to wait for initial prices to raise up and makes the normal price to fall

To avoid product overstock, you don't have to replace the product by buying a product with a long expiration date, whether a long expiration date product will be liked by customers, but you have to be able to calculate safety stock, as well as make sales and purchase estimates. You can also apply the FEFO method to value inventory.

To avoid this, you need to check inventory first, check how fast you run out of the product and how slow it is. Then from the inventory, you will an idea when to restock such items.

You will first have to see what products are in high demand and what products are in less demand. You should only stock pile products that are in high demand to avoid issues of expiry.

You should check which products are in high demand and order them frequently. For products that are not so popular, order less. Otherwise, you will have a stock of expired products.

I'm addition, it's important to regularly keep stock of the items you have, operating with the first in, first out method so good close to expiry are sold fast.
