I assume that OEM = factory stuff but what do the letters stand for and if Im wrong what the hell does it mean?

 

I think it means Original Equipment Manufactuer..... But I really don't know for sure

 

OEM =original equipment manufacturer, or the automotive companies themselves

This is actually an interesting question because these days the OEMs hardly ever manufacturer their own parts--people like Bosch, Johnson Controls, Arvin Meritor, Magna, Denko (or what are commonly known as Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers) actually manufacture most or all of the respective components or systems that go into the vehicles themselves. The OEMs mostly work with these suppliers in integrating it into a complete system.

 

So I was right. It did mean Factory stuff. lol Is he right? anybody know for sure?

edit: Oops I guess someone beat me to the punch on my reply. See answer above.

 

yeup... oem stands for original equipment manufacturer.

 

aahhahahah......
cool I wanted to know what OEM standed for too, but didnt wanna sound like a dumbass by asking pplz..
goodwork george you did all the work for me!!

 

Hehehe... There is also ODM as well. Just like ricecake said, manufacture hardly make their own stuffs now. They order it from ODM and bage it with your name.

(ODM = Original Designed Manufactuer)

For example, DELL's laptop are mostly from ODM where the ODM company designs it, bage it with DELL logo and then DELL sell it as their own laptop. (Correct me if I am wrong)

 

there is also OMD

 

I figured there were others out there that didnt know what it ment. There are some other things that I dont know but Im not gonna ask... Unless nobody else does. I already took one for the team. Whos next?!
