OEM Program Transfer Playbook

Most OEM program transfers to EMS providers fail in the first 90 days. Not because the provider is wrong. Because the OEM's documentation, process knowledge, and assumptions were never validated before the handoff began. This playbook covers every phase from pre-transfer readiness assessment through production authorization. 10 sections. Documentation handoff checklists across six functional areas. The 12 most common transfer failure patterns with root causes. Go/no-go gate structure. Timeline planning. Post-transfer governance. Dedicated section on trade and tariff compliance, where cross-border transfers create the most unexpected cost and delay.
