More involvement from Toyota in how Toyota's are created I imagine (it sounds funny). If i'm not mistaken, currently OEMs basically piece together vehicles largely from offerings from suppliers (e.g. door handles, headlight projectors, etc). More stuff than you'd expect in cars like the Camry aren't actually engineered inhouse.
I imagine ODM is more involvement with the design and customization/origination of those components so you get better, more economic outcomes vs making existing things work.
Please someone correct me if i'm wrong.
