‘ An ODM arrangement does not have as much flexibility as an OEM ’
ODM or original design manufacturing , a type of private labelling for manufactured parts . An ODM company can produce and manufacture a product according to their own needs , but they may alter the design to meet a client company ’ s specifications . These products may then be sold by the client under their own brand .
An ODM arrangement does not have as much flexibility as an OEM original equipment manufacturer because the client is simply customising an existing design . However , ODM original design manufacturing has lower costs for research and development , leading to lower prices for the end consumer . Moreover , ODM products typically have a lower minimum order quantity , making them more attractive to smaller clients .

The advantages of OEM / ODM manufacture
Competitive pricing : Components are costcompetitive because of the economies of scale .

When a good quality product is priced at a low or reasonable price , it leads to increased sales , revenue and profits .
Access to experts leads to good quality : Several companies have been using the same manufacturing process for years . This makes them experts in that process . An experienced manufacturer will know the reasons for manufacturing defects and take steps to prevent these defects in manufacturing . Companies that do not have the vast experience with Original Equipment Manufacturers or ODM manufacturing will make mistakes that can be costly . Trial and error costs money .
Cut capital costs and protection against fluctuations in operational costs : By outsourcing manufacturing , companies save on capital costs , operational expenses , raw materials , some of which can fluctuate over time , upsetting the best-planned budgets . This protects against any fluctuations in the price on a fixed contract . This aids planning and budgeting and prevents any nasty price-related surprises
