FIFO - first in first out - it might be applicable in an industry where shelf life is an important criteria say perishable items like bread; milk ; medicine etc. so a material which comes in first at warehouse should exit first also.

LIFO - last in first out can be used in say cement industry wherein u vertically stack material in warehouse one over other , obviously the later the material is recieved is placed at the top. so it is dificult to pick the sack which is at the lowest level of a vertical column, thats why a LIFO is applied.
