OEM and ODM programs let a distributor turn Elite Lite into a house brand rather than a commodity line.
Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, oem and odm programs is where most of the value on the Elite Lite is either created or lost.
Keeping a short internal note on oem and odm programs for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Elite Lite.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Elite Lite
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on oem and odm programs it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
