Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2002 11
• Optical Components Company
Optical Components Company (OCC) is focusing particularly on high-value-added components for
high-speed optical telecommunications in the module, subsystem and discrete devices areas. We are
aiming to maintain our technical expertise and become a niche leader in advanced optical
telecommunications technology.
Although fiscal 2002 started out well as a result of favorable conditions in fiscal 2001, the IT market
slumped and the U.S. optical telecommunications market—a major sector—plunged into a significant
downturn in the second half of fiscal 2002. Accordingly, OCC marketed new products, such as
superhigh-speed 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s devices and modules and high-
power laser modules, and acquired better access to the U.S. optical tele-
communications market by improving its technical support and services.
Furthermore, OCC is now entering into new markets other than the U.S.
and optical telecommunications markets. As a result, although we could
not avoid dramatically lower sales, we actively expanded our business
centered around gigabit ethernet and metro wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) systems.
• Manufacturing Service Company
Following the reorganization of the Takasaki manufacturing center and the Honjo manufacturing
center in the north Kanto region, the Manufacturing Service Company (MSC) was established as
an affiliate company to offer manufacturing services. MSC not only supervises the manufacturing
for SSC, FSC and NSC but is also actively involved in the Advanced Mechatronics & Electronics
Manufacturing Service (AMS) business, which receives manufacturing commissions from other
companies. The number of companies under contract rose to approximately 100 in early 2002.
MSC is developing a structure that can deal with production changes and maintaining a scale
appropriate to reduced factory output caused by transfers of plants overseas and less manufactur-
ing of equipment. We are striving to achieve greater revenue by expanding AMS and original
design manufacturing (ODM).
• Oki Customer Adtech
Oki Customer Adtech (OCA) aims to improve the cost performance of corporate customers and
raise the quality of their services by offering one-stop services through a network of service bases in
approximately 300 locations and a 24-hour, year-round customer support center.
In fiscal 2002, OCA expanded its business, focusing on support services, network business and
product sales. OCA actively cultivated new business and expanded IT management services in such
areas as systems operation, administration and housing as well as multivendor support. We also strived
to augment the sale of systems equipment using alliances with overseas manufacturers, expand our
business in support services and improve the sale of color printers made by Oki Data Corporation.
