Odette standards help automotive
industry companies to meet the ever-increasing challenge of managing their
supply chain operations. Our established standards are regularly reviewed to
ensure that they remain relevant while new ones are developed to cope with changing
requirements.
In the drive to further digitalisation of automotive supply
