Every serious sourcing conversation about the Meta 3 eventually arrives at oem and odm programs, usually because it is where cost and risk meet.
A written internal standard for oem and odm programs makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Meta 3
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Meta 3.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
