A written internal standard for oem and odm programs makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.

ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Keeping a short internal note on oem and odm programs for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Stark.
