Executive Certificate in Manufacturing & OEM Contract Structuring

Manufacturing and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) relationships depend on contracts that clearly allocate production, quality, supply, intellectual property, pricing, and delivery responsibilities. OEM arrangements may involve manufacturers producing goods or components according to another company's specifications, designs, branding, or technical requirements. The contractual framework must address product standards, ownership of designs, tooling, intellectual property, warranties, inspection, delivery, and liability. Poorly structured manufacturing agreements can result in supply disruptions, quality disputes, intellectual property conflicts, and significant commercial losses. This subject provides practical knowledge of structuring manufacturing and OEM contracts to establish predictable commercial relationships.
