Operating systems and networks employ the First Come, First Served (FCFS) scheduling method to efficiently and automatically execute queued tasks, processes, and requests in the order of their arrival. A first-in, first-out (FIFO) or first-come, first-choice (FCFC) scheduling technique is sometimes known as an FCFS scheduling algorithm.
An FCFS algorithm is predictable due to its simplicity, independent of the tasks or requests it must complete. FCFS algorithms mirror real-life customer service situations, such as grocery store checkout lines, where consumers who arrive first are served first, regardless of the magnitude or complexity of their transaction.
