Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are companies that design and produce components or entire products which are then sold to other businesses for integration into their final goods or services. These products are often rebranded or further customized before reaching the end consumer.
Key activities and characteristics of OEMs include:
- Designing and manufacturing specialized components or products
- Collaborating with other businesses for product integration
- Meeting industry standards and specifications
OEMs play a crucial role in the supply chain by allowing businesses to focus on assembly and distribution while leveraging the advanced manufacturing expertise of the OEM. For example, a car manufacturer might rely on OEMs for engines or electronic systems. This partnership enhances efficiency, ensures high-quality components, and supports innovation in the industry.
