There is no shortcut on oem and odm programs: the Vibe 3 rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
Freight consolidation changes the answer to oem and odm programs at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Vibe 3
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.
