Abstract: Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. The main result of this paper is to characterize modules whose first nonzero Fitting ideal is a product of maximal ideals of $R$, in some cases.
Keywords: Fitting ideal; torsion submodule; regular element
