Lack of materials or goods to satisfy customer orders under current
market conditions represents an extremely costly and important
problem facing businesses today. This is a problem that companies
have spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to solve. This book
introduces a new theory, 3C, which will solve these problems. The
authors, experts from Lucent Technologies, discuss in detail the
relationship between the 3Cs - capacity, commonality, and consumption
- and how this relationship can revolutionize your business. You will

performance by using the business capacity as the basis for materials
planning; reduce investments in inventory by using the commonality of
components; obtain dramatic improvements in the lead time of customer
orders by using the actual consumption of materials instead of
inaccurate sales forecasts as the basis for purchasing. The new and
exciting techniques based on 3C generate immediate business benefits,
for example: executing the purchasing function with a new criteria
and formulae that can eliminate material shortages and significantly
improve shipping performance, sales volumes, operating expense and
company image.3C-A Proven Alternative to MRPII for Optimizing Supply
