Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind oem and odm programs: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.

ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.

Where two suppliers look identical on price, oem and odm programs is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
