ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Seasonality interacts with oem and odm programs more than most forecasts allow for, so a rolling review beats an annual one.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
