FAQs about FMCG supply chain logistics
FMCG stands for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods. These are products that sell quickly and at relatively low cost, like food, beverages, personal care items, and household products.
The FMCG supply chain refers to the entire process of moving products from production to the shelves, ensuring they get to the right place at the right time. It includes sourcing, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and distribution.
An FMCG warehouse is where fast-moving consumer goods are stored before being distributed. It’s designed for high turnover, ensuring products are stored efficiently and easily accessed for quick delivery to retailers.
The FMCG industry includes businesses that produce and sell everyday consumer goods like food, drinks, cleaning supplies, and personal care items. These products are typically sold quickly and in large volumes.
CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) and FMCG are often used interchangeably, but FMCG typically refers to products that sell very quickly, while CPG includes all packaged goods, even those that move more slowly off the shelves. Both focus on everyday consumer products, but FMCG emphasises speed and volume.
