Careers In Manufacturing

By Louise Adams


What does FMCG mean?

The term FMCG is used to describe goods that are quick to get 'used up' and generally only last a short number of days of weeks. The term FMCG means Fast Moving Consumer Goods. In contrast to fast moving consumer goods are durable goods and major appliances such as TV's or kitchen appliances, these are generally not replaces within a year hence them not being 'fast moving.'

FMCG usually have an extremely short shelf life, this can be due to consumer requirements or generally that the product itself degenerates quickly and therefore needs replacing fast.

The shelf life of fast moving consumer goods is generally extremely short as goods like this include fruit, fresh meat, veg, dairy products and other perishable consumables. Other FMCG's such as alcohol, toiletries and household cleaning products also have very quick turnaround rates.

Consumers think of fast moving consumer goods as being the everyday items they buy, things they don't need to consider too much before they buy and things that are typically very low in price.

Marketers often think of these goods as being high in volume, low in value and having an incredibly high turnover in stock.

If you are searching for a career in this sector then you might want to speak to a specialist recruitment consultant. Registering with a recruiter will mean that you get access to all the latest jobs which wouldn't always be advertised in public. The reason for jobs not being advertised in public is that often they are given to recruiters to work on exclusively.

Applying for a job through a recruiter gives you a much better chance of getting your CV noticed. Often there are hundreds of CV's sent for each job advertised these days so it can be difficult to ensure that your CV is going to be seen without working with a trusted recruiter.
