In Canan Kozmetik Plant, shampoo and hair conditioners of Elseve, İpek and A Plus are produced and are sold both in domestic and international market. One of the main objectives of the company is high level of customer satisfaction. For this purpose, L’Oréal Turkey desires a better production plan and inventory management at its Canan Kozmetik plant.

Lower finished product levels and better order fulfillment rates are expected as the outputs of the project.
