ADVA Optical Networking won the 2013 Supply Chain Management Award for overhauling its global supply chain strategy through a three-year project involving 300 employees. This allowed the company to standardize processes and systems worldwide, improving customer focus and competitiveness.

LOGISTIK HEUTE
Since 2006, the presentation of the Supply Chain Management
(SCM) Award has been an annual highlight for its initiators – consulting firm PwC and industry trade journal LOGISTIK HEUTE. That’s
because in the twelve-month period preceding the presentation,
both the consultants and journalists have the opportunity to discover dozens of interesting SCM projects. However, even though many
of these projects are very good, only a few companies have an outstanding solution for end-to-end optimization of the supply chain.
Large, publicly traded corporations, including Infineon, BASF, and
BMW Motorrad have done their homework when it comes to such
things – and have already received the recognition of the 14-person
SCM Award jury.
This year’s winner is a triumph for medium-sized businesses. ADVA
Optical Networking beat out big-name competitors, such as Bayer
HealthCare and Intel. In my view, this is a good sign, especially in
Germany, where SCM experts can learn from more than just the big corporations.
From the North Sea to the Alps, this land is rich with “hidden champions” that have
much to teach the heavyweights.

the EXCHAiNGE conference on June 19 in Frankfurt – in an in-depth cover story featured in the July 2013 issue. The editors are pleased to report in even greater detail
on the approach taken by the ADVA Optical Networking supply chain team in this
special issue (p. 10). The company’s three-year project involved no less than 300
employees. We also introduce the jury (p. 4) and discuss the purpose of the award
(p. 6). Be sure to read about ADVA Optical Networking’s fascinating journey from a
four-man startup to a global player (p. 8). Finally, we offer an outlook on the future
(p. 17). Supply chain optimization is a continuous journey and it’s critical that we
continue to explore new techniques and methodologies. As they say in sports: it

chain management? And what does it take to win the Supply
Chain Management Award?
Harald Geimer: In recent years we’ve seen supply chain management (SCM) assume an increasingly prominent role as a critical competitive discipline. The result has been a series of highquality solutions benefiting from a willingness to cross-pollinate
across company and industry frontiers. This was precisely our
motivation when we joined LOGISTIK HEUTE in 2006 to create a
new award that shines a light on these breakthroughs and gives
them the acclaim they deserve.

1999
Everyone is talking about the “bubble.” Like other startups from this era, ADVA Optical Networking has visions of becoming the dominant equipment provider in the telecommunications industry. But management realizes that the small sales
team will not have a global reach. So the company decides to
work with partners and signs an OEM partnership with Alcatel.
ADVA Optical Networking also goes public this year. After about
three loops and some falls, it climbs to the top of the roller coaster
with the rest of the industry. It is the heyday of optical networking, and the company is valued higher than Lufthansa.
2000
ADVA Optical Networking acquires Storage Area Networks Ltd. (Cambridge, UK), Cellware Breitband Technologie
GmbH (Berlin, Germany), FirstFibre Ltd. (York, UK), and the Siemens Norway Telecom RD team (Oslo, Norway). Many employees from these early acquisitions are still with the company
today.
2001
The company completes construction of its state-ofthe-art RD, production, and administration facility in Meiningen, Germany. The company also expands the WDM product line
and launches FSP 1000 and FSP 2000.
History
Through the eyes of CEO
and co-founder Brian Protiva
1994
To survive hard times, employees put their
shoulders to the wind and focus on their vision. The company
actually gains market share during these hard years. ADVA Optical Networking goes from 0.2 percent to 2 percent of the market
just by holding its own.
To build market share in North America and Asia, the company
signs OEM agreements with Fujitsu Network Communications
and Hitachi Ltd.
2004
Recognizing the increasing importance of Ethernet to
future networks, ADVA Optical Networking invests in and then
later fully acquires Metro Packet Systems, Inc. (California).
2005-2006
The management board sees a few companies
dominating the fields of Ethernet OAM, optical control plane, and
ADVA Optical Networking is founded in Meiningen in
the former East Germany. At the time, the company cannot afford
to hire engineers in Munich due to cash restrictions and the inability to get subsidies, so it launches in Meiningen with four people
and a vision … to ADd VAlue. ADVA Optical Networking is born.
1995
ADVA Optical Networking launches its first product.
A data center manager at the former Westfälische Landesbank
needs more dark fiber but cannot get them from Deutsche Bundespost. They convince ADVA Optical Networking to build the
first ESCON multiplexer right around the same time that IBM
begins developing a competing product.
1997
ADVA Optical Networking is proud of its successes and
begins to eye other markets. From its entrepreneurial roots, the
company finally sells products to its first carrier customer (COLT),
for whom it builds media converters.

T
oday, when we want to know the answer to a question
– at home or in the office – we go online. Google and
such sites typically serve up a few hits on even the most
obscure questions – delivered right to our smartphone or tablet.
Whether the information is accurate or not is beside the point.
Twenty years ago, when the Internet was still in its infancy, this
would have been unthinkable. Today, the Web opens the door to
a vast world of knowledge.
But all of that depends on a good connection to the global
network. We can’t surf the Web, download music, or send large
volumes of data without powerful networks using the right transmission technology.
ADVA Optical Networking SE, headquartered in Meiningen in
the heart of Germany, understands this. The company’s crowning achievement has been – in layman’s terms – combining fiber-optic transmission technology and the Ethernet protocol, a
technology that allows for quick transfer of data packets. Smart
software automates the data interchange.
The more Web 2.0 and Industry 4.0 evolve, the better it is for

require more bandwidth and high transmission speeds. Good
old-fashioned copper wire has taken us almost as far as it can,
and experts agree on the urgent need to expand our fiber-optic
infrastructure.
From small things
ADVA Optical Networking couldn’t agree more. For nearly two
decades, the company’s focus has been on wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM), a process for optimizing fiber-optic network
capacity that achieves lightning-fast data rates and broad transmission ranges. The company began as a lean startup in Meiningen and Martinsried (near Munich) in 1994. Now, its products
are known throughout the world. CEO Brian Protiva confirmed
that ADVA Optical Networking solutions are now used by over
10,000 companies and 250 network operators around the globe.
Thanks to this success, the company was listed on the FrankLOGISTIK ▶HEUTE◀ 2013

ADVA Optical Networking, a medium-sized telecommunications vendor, emerged

Award 2013” for its trailblazing end-to-end supply chain solution.

several other companies. Big-name
players turn to ADVA Optical Networking’s products and for good reason. “To begin with, we put
a strong focus on research and development. Moreover, our customers appreciate the fine-tuned solutions,” says Chief Technology Officer Christopher Glingener. “Sometimes a developer
tweaks a feature 30 or 40 times until it’s just right.”
But serious competitors such as Alcatel-Lucent have also
jumped on the bandwagon for custom solutions. That’s why in
recent years, order lead time is increasingly the deal-maker for
landing a contract. “When it comes to securing contracts, lightning-fast order lead time can separate the best from the rest,”

the supply chain team studied the supply chain in its entirety.
It was this end-to-end approach that made such a lasting impression on the 14-member jury of the Supply Chain Management Award in 2013 when ADVA Optical Networking beat out big
names like Bayer, Intel, and Symrise in the final round.

Challenges ahead
The coming years will present a variety of
challenges for the supply chain organization of telecommunications equipment
providers like ADVA Optical Networking.
The right solutions are urgently needed.
The challenges stem from the unrelenting progress of technology, the
increasing integration of system providers
in on-site operations, and the growing
expectations of customers when it comes
to ethics and the environment. The
growing power of individual suppliers in
the marketplace also poses a major challenge to the industry. These considerations can be summarized as follows:
Social, ethical, and environmental concerns: These issues are increasingly front
and center for our customers, especially
the larger grid operators. Compliance
with ISO 14001 environmental standards, corporate responsibility in accordance with the EICC Code of Conduct,
analysis of settlement risks, and the risk
mitigation plan are all necessary components of our quotation process. It’s
important to keep these challenges in
mind right from the development phase
– for example, when determining the
energy budget for systems and components – by selecting new suppliers based
on their social profile or simultaneously
qualifying multiple suppliers for systemcritical components and production
steps.
LOGISTIK ▶HEUTE◀ 2013
ADVA Optical Networking meets these
challenges by embedding these requirements within the larger processes. This
underscores the need for marketing,
development, purchasing, and production teams to work more closely together
than ever before.
Growing complexity through custom
services: As software, programmable
features, and freely tunable optics
are deployed more widely, hardware is
becoming simpler and components (circuit boards, function blocks, network
elements) more standardized. But at
the same time, systems are increasingly
customized downstream at the installation site, resulting in much greater complexity. This type of customization has
many forms: loading customer-specific
software, applying labels or inscriptions for branding purposes, conducting
system tests with specific optical cable
lengths in the simulated network environment of the customer, or registering
and administering system parameters
(including IP addresses) in the customer
network.
ADVA Optical Networking already provides this type of high-quality service to
selected customers. Accelerating and
streamlining these processes means
having employees include these custom
requirements in the quotation process,
processing them in the variant configu-
rator, and passing them seamlessly to
production. Our company has met these
challenges by investing in IT systems
with the objective of more closely integrating CRM, PDM, and ERP systems.
Power of suppliers in the marketplace:
Differentiating your product portfolio not
only yields important quality attributes
such as range and functionality, but also
results in the development of customerspecific electro-optical components
and gives some suppliers a monopoly.
Standardized components (commodities)
are beneficial from a supply chain perspective, since they can be quickly and
readily procured at competitive prices
from a broad base of suppliers.
That’s why it is important for marketers
and developers to carefully decide on a
case-by-case basis whether differentiation and customized components make
sense for the business. This means
better organizing the commodity teams
and giving them more authority. The
commodity teams – composed of development, production, quality, and purchasing experts – are where procurement
strategies for each material group are
jointly developed and implemented.

12. Strategy
In conversation
“It was a true team effort –
all voices were heard”
Dr. Paulus Bucher, Senior Vice President
for Global Operations, and Philipp Lutzny,
Senior Director for Global Order Fulfillment Supply Chain Management, discuss how ADVA Optical Networking transformed its supply chain management.
LOGISTIK HEUTE: A company that grows
largely through acquisitions often has
trouble defining standards. How difficult
was that for ADVA Optical Networking?
Dr. Paulus Bucher: About three years ago,
all the different products that were tailored
to the local markets of the companies
we had acquired were replaced by a new
global platform. This made it possible to
create global production and distribution
structures for the first time in order to
leverage key potential synergies. That presented major organizational and conceptual challenges for our supply chain.
How is your supply chain organized today?
Dr. Bucher: Some 300 employees around
the world work in the Operations division,
which encompasses strategic purchasing,
operational purchasing, production, order
management, and distribution logistics
consolidated within a global matrix. We
supply custom systems from our own
configuration and distribution centers in
Europe, North America, and China. We
operate in our customers’ local markets,
so we understand their needs and can
respond accordingly. All the products
we ship pass through our hands and are
subject to rigorous quality controls on an
ongoing basis.
For cost reasons, we outsource module
production to a small number of subcontractors in Eastern Europe and Asia. This
outsourcing is managed centrally. We manufacture only about 20 percent in-house
and consistently focus our own resources
on complex and newly introduced products.
What impact does good supply chain management have on the company’s success?
Dr. Bucher: About three years ago, our
supply chain consisted of three standalone
supply chain solutions in three different
countries with very little interaction. But
we quickly noticed that our performance
12
was sub-optimal. We sometimes lost
customer contracts because we couldn’t
fulfil the order by the requested deadline.
We realized that if we wanted to prevail
against our competitors, most of whom are
much larger, we had to invest in our supply
chain. The quickest one wins the contract:
that’s the way it works around here. At the
same time, the markets are demanding
much lower production and distribution
costs.
Do managers in your industry look too
much to their engineers?
Philipp Lutzny: Obviously, our innovation
and the engineers that make it possible
are highly valued. But at ADVA Optical
Networking, speed and trust are also vital.
By now, everyone realizes that we can
meet this challenge only if the underlying
value chain is efficient. The reputation of
our Operations team has risen considerably in recent years.
Who are your major competitors?
Lutzny: Huawei, ZTE, Ciena, AlcatelLucent – to name a few. Our customers tell
us that these companies can barely compete with an order lead time of ten days,
which we deliver to our top customers as a
premium service.
What challenges did you face three years
ago?
Dr. Bucher: We had an order lead time of
40 days for complete systems – far too
long. The costs for freight services came
to about three percent of revenues at the
time. And our scrapping costs were high.
Our Sales and Operations Planning (SOP)
process faced the tremendous challenge
of accurately forecasting such a large
number of customer-specific products with
a time horizon of up to four months. Our
inventory turnover rate was three cycles
annually. Almost all purchases were based
on the forecast without any segmentation.
After we got all our information together,
we knew we needed an end-to-end,
customer-oriented operations concept. The
idea of the “commoditized supply chain”
was born.
How did ADVA Optical Networking plan
this project?
Dr. Bucher: We launched a whole series of
projects along the chain that only in retrospect seem to coalesce into a coherent
strategy. It started with our so-called
postponement factory – where variants
are implemented only at the very end of
the production process. We also worked
on the long lead times with our strategic
suppliers. Then we greatly reduced the
number of production subcontractors for
electronic modules and realigned our
in-house production by reorganizing the
production steps and focus. Meanwhile,
we took a more systematic approach to
our price negotiations with suppliers and
About the interviewees
Dr. Paulus Bucher, 47, studied mechanical engineering in Germany and the

tion to new sites and dramatically reduced
our production costs.
Which performance indicators were you
able to optimize the most?
Lutzny: Our order lead time used to be
more than 40 days. Today it stands at
approximately 21 days. We also brought
on-time performance up from 85 percent
to over 95 percent. We raised our inventory turnover rate from three to six cycles
annually. Thanks to centralized negotiations and new freight consolidation points,
our freight costs today are just above one
percent of revenues. By concentrating our
production in Eastern Europe and Asia, we
were able to lower the standard costs of
our products by double-digit percentages
each year.
Why did you give preference to the purchase-to-order model?
Lutzny: Some suppliers, such as the
manufacturers of electro-optical modules,
need windows of twelve to fourteen weeks
to produce semiconductors. It simply
made no sense to place orders with these
companies on the basis of questionable
forecasts. Our response was to establish
a kanban system for certain components
from our major suppliers. The supplier
guarantees the availability of the components and supplies them on demand in
just two weeks. So we shifted the responsibility a bit more to the supplier, where it
belongs.
How radical were these changes to your
production processes?
Lutzny: We decided to consolidate the production of modules at our global subcontractors and configure the devices regionally, where our customers are located.
This meant reconfiguring our value chain
so that variants are configured at the very
end. The key was separating hardware
from software. Today, our process for configuring software variants is designed for
agility. Specifically, this means that we
now store only one-third of the data in our
ERP system that we used to.
How did you communicate the SCM
strategy to your employees?
Dr. Bucher: The revised approach was
not a top-down order from management,
but a true team effort. All voices mattered. We conducted an extensive dialog
and explained the concept to the relevant
employees. Our experience shows that
this is the best way to put good ideas into
practice.
You called one of your projects an outsourcing model. Can you tell us about
this?
Dr. Bucher: At the time, we were using
ten different subcontractors, including
some in Western Europe and the United
States. Now we’ve reduced that number to
just three – two in China, one in Eastern
Europe. We also strategically realigned
our own production sites. The number of
personnel remained the same, but we relocated our in-house production to where the
orders are coming in, shortened our development cycles, and became much more
agile in the process. Over the past three
years, we transferred most of our produc-
LOGISTIK ▶HEUTE◀ 2013
Corporate social responsibility is a broad
topic. What has ADVA Optical Networking
done there?
Dr. Bucher: Our primary concern was
energy efficiency and treating our
employees around the world fairly. On
the energy efficiency front, we conducted
a thorough analysis to determine where
carbon dioxide is generated in the manufacturing and operation of our products.
The objectives included using less electric
energy in our manufacturing process and
reducing the amount of packaging. Our
new planning model also allowed us to
shift a variety of standardized products
from air freight to ocean freight.
What have you done in the field of ethics?
Dr. Bucher: Here our concerns included
ascertaining that employees living in com-
pany-sponsored housing in other countries
had decent living conditions and that they
enjoyed adequate safeguards against workplace injuries. We conduct regular audits
of our suppliers in China, for example, to
check for adherence to our standards. We
welcome the trend that more and more
customers want to know whether we monitor that sort of thing. We have been very
active on these issues.
How did you see your chances for the SCM
Award 2013?
Lutzny: First we asked PwC whether we
should perhaps wait another year. But the
consultants encouraged us to apply, and
within five days we had completed our
30-page application. The primary objective was to gain feedback. We didn’t see
ourselves as the favorite.
You shut out companies like Bayer and
Intel. How surprised were you when you
learned of your victory?
Dr. Bucher: We were ecstatic. I believe
large enterprises have more muscle to
push through major projects with greater
speed and consistency. This award carries
a very special prestige. Our customers in
particular will see this as a validation of
our worth. Just as importantly, the award is
recognition for the entire team.
Will you rest on your laurels now?
Lutzny: Of course not! We intend to push
forward with our end-to-end segmentation. Currently, we are checking our data
quarterly. Eventually, we will make this a
monthly process. We also plan to further
integrate our suppliers.
Dr. Bucher: And we want to approach more
customers about logistics solutions to offer
them added value. Progress in commodity
management is also on the agenda. The
next generation of products may require
that we adapt our processes once again.

Discussing the coming challenges:
Members of ADVA
Optical Networking’s
Meiningen team.
Excerpt of the laudation
Pavel Krych, Director of Technical
Purchasing at Deutsche Telekom AG:
Being successful requires innovative
approaches, solutions, and implementations that are good enough to
serve as models for other companies.
This certainly describes the supply
chain segmentation so excellently
implemented by ADVA Optical
Networking – an innovation in the
industry. Segmentation means
defining and differentiating segments on the basis of the product
portfolio and the existing demand
structures. This makes it possible to effectively and efficiently serve distinct portfolios.
ADVA Optical Networking achieved an end-to-end, crossenterprise implementation from the supplier to the customer. Production and planning have also been decoupled.
This two-stage approach enables late-stage customization
– customer-specific product configuration and adaptation
in the regional final assembly centers – enabling a quick
response to changing customer demands.
This end-to-end segmentation of the supply chain in
conjunction with decoupled production and planning is
the key to customer-specific product configuration in the
regions and a good example of the kind of innovation that
I referred to. I feel certain that many here will appreciate
the elegance of such an approach, and I can also imagine
that only few here can claim to have achieved this – much
less so seamlessly.
ADVA Optical Networking is a beacon to other industries as
well through its supply chain solution, which is in a class
of its own in planning and the translation of planning into
production. ADVA Optical Networking also demonstrated
an elegant realization of supply chain segmentation tailored to the specific needs of the industry.

this way: “The jury was impressed by the systematic integration
of the business model with the supply chain model. A development-driven company managed to create an agile supply chain
organization based on the needs of its customers. The result
is that ADVA Optical Networking can now serve its customers
faster, with better on-time performance, and at lower cost than
its competitors.”
What ADVA Optical Networking achieved in three years cannot be summarized in just a few words. The jury emphasized
that the company standardized its global systems and processes
along a global supply chain strategy, which improved its customer focus. End-to-end supply chain optimization that extended
beyond development, quality, production, and sales to include
suppliers, made it possible to “establish a powerful and comprehensive supply chain.” The pull-based solution put into place
features of unprecedented availability and flexibility that boasted
measurable results and a wide array of best-practices.
Lead time reduced by over 50 percent
The jurors were also impressed by how the numbers improved: ADVA Optical Networking reduced its supplier lead time
by over 50 percent, increased on-time performance from 85 to
97 percent, and raised its inventory turnover rate from three to
six cycles annually. The jury acknowledged that these improvements ushered in a “profound transformation at all levels of the
supply chain.” The implementation time frame of just two and a
half years was “very fast.”
Today, it’s clear in the eyes of the jury that the flexibility this
yielded has been key to the success of ADVA Optical Networking
in keeping both its customers and its suppliers happy. “While the
customers have the products delivered at relatively short lead
times of 15 days on average, the suppliers have long lead times
of 4 to 12 weeks,” noted the SCM experts on the jury.
The end-to-end and cross-enterprise segmentation of the supply chain – from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer – is a unique innovation in the industry. Segmentation means
defining and differentiating segments on the basis of the product
portfolio and the existing demand structures. This makes it possible to effectively and efficiently serve distinct portfolios.
Production and planning have also been decoupled. This twostage approach enables late-stage customization – customer-specific product configuration and adaptation in the regional final
assembly centers – enabling a quick response to changing customer demands. Collaboration between developers and suppliers
makes end-to-end optimization possible.

18. Outlook
The demand for
bandwidth wherever
you are and on any
device is driving our
industry
a daily heartbeat flowing from customer to manufacturer that
allows ADVA Optical Networking to respond to changes quickly.
Collaborative planning and regular performance reviews between operations and customers drives cycle times down.
Customers can select the staging level
ADVA Optical Networking’s manufacturing model is simple;
a few best-in-class partners feed the company’s customization
and distribution centers worldwide, while the company maintains some smaller, flexible in-house production. ADVA Optical Networking and its partners build generic, then customize
software and do customer-specific staging in the sales regions.
Customers can select the staging level that fits their appetite to
do work in the field. Those who desire ultra-fast turn-up buy fully
loaded, fibered and configured systems. And those with more
time may take delivery unassembled. The point is, ADVA Optical Networking can bear much of the customer burden on the
road to turn-up. There is also a redundant, balanced approach
in assigning production. Builds are spread evenly between two
tier-one manufacturers situated close to ADVA Optical Networking’s distribution centers. This allows ADVA Optical Networking
to maintain a competitive price atmosphere and two manufacturers familiar with all of its technologies. This directly benefits
customers on cost and supply redundancy.
What does it take to become an ADVA Optical Networking
supplier? When you dig deeper, you’ll find that the company surrounds itself with partners who live to the same high standards.
ADVA Optical Networking realizes that in its supply chain every
element counts – that everyone is connected and that the behavior of one can speak for all. Therefore, corporate ethics, social
responsibility, and sustainability are foundation principles for
ADVA Optical Networking, and the company regularly audits to
maintain that confidence. At ADVA Optical Networking, operations is not seen as a simple back-office production unit. It is an
additional service to the customer – one that delivers the company’s brand promise of innovation, speed and trust.
A word from the CEO
The networking industry has always been
a catalyst for change. Change in the
way we communicate and collaborate.
Change in the way we develop and share
knowledge. Change in the very way we
build communities. Over the years we
have helped to drive this industry. We

Brian L Protiva,
CEO of ADVA
­Optical Networking
we entered new market verticals and we
helped our customers develop their own
new revenue opportunities. What’s more,
we did all of this while remaining true
to our core values: innovation – speed –
trust.
The management of our supply chain is
an intrinsic part of our core values. It’s a
key fabric of who we are as a company. In
2010, we made a decision to completely
redesign our supply chain processes.
We were responding to a change in our
customers’ needs, in how they were operating. They wanted greater speed, more
flexibility and faster response. Three
years later, I find myself writing this message.
I am incredibly proud of what our teams
have achieved and the Supply Chain
Management Award 2013 is a clear recognition of their success. ADVA Optical
Networking is not only a fast-moving
innovator. We also value our most important asset – our people. Our personal
touch makes us stand out against our
competition. Ultimately, we always put
the customer first. A few examples:
We introduced a de-centralized supply

We conduct collaborative planning
sessions between our customers and
operations teams to synchronize run-rate

As we continue to strive towards market
leadership we fully recognize the competitive importance of our operational processes. In fact, we even take it one step
further: we look at the end-to-end supply
chain, starting with the component
manufacturers and reaching all the way
to our customers’ customers. As a result,
the lines between suppliers and users
are beginning to blur – and our commitment to operational excellence goes way
beyond our corporate boundaries.
