Original equipment manufacturer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

"OEM" redirects here. For other uses, see OEM (disambiguation).

An Original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by a company and retailed under the purchasing company's brand name.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product.
When referring to automotive parts, OEM designates a replacement part made by the manufacturer of the original part.^[6]

Confusing and contradictory definitions

OEM may also refer to a company that purchases--for use in its own products--a component made by a second company.^[7][8][9] For instance, under this definition, if company 'A Inc' purchases optical drives from company 'B Ltd' to put in 'A Inc' computers, then 'company A' is the OEM.
An even more confusing, contradictory definition is a company that sells the product of a second company under its own brand name.^[10][3]
Companies who follow the above practices may be better termed value-added resellers (VARs) or resellers, respectively.

Economy of scale

OEMs rely on their ability to drive down the cost of production through economies of scale. Also, using an OEM allows the purchasing company to obtain the needed components or products without owning and operating a factory.

Automotive parts

An automobile part may carry the designation OEM if it is made by the same manufacturer and is the original part used when building and selling the product.^[6] The term aftermarket is often used for non-OEM replacement parts.^[6]

Origin of term

OEM is defined by IBM to refer to "a manufacturer of equipment that may be marketed by another manufacturer".^[1]
The term was used in the early 1960s by Digital Equipment Corporation and its vendors to refer to value-added resellers.^[9]
