Distributors reviewing their Zen 4 range usually find that oem and odm programs explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
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.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Zen 4.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
