    The document proposes a low inventory model called "Quick Replenishment" for L'Oreal to reduce plastic waste from obsolete finished goods, wherein sales forecasts would be made for short durations based on observed demand and fast-moving SKUs would have production and inventory replenished rapidly while slow-moving SKUs would be formally bought back or trial-introduced in new markets. This approach aims to eliminate inaccurate forecasting, align production with actual demand, reduce stockouts and obsolete inventory to utilize less plastic in production and packaging.
