OUTWORK ENTERPRISE


Name given to subcontracting enterprises to which a commissioning enterprise entrusts a part of production. Very widespread in Greece, chiefly in the clothing industry, these enterprises employ employees within a formal employment relationship. The employer is called ασονιερηζ, (a loan-word originating from the French faηonnier ), which is in fact the same term as that used to refer to outworkers who work outside any formal employment relationship."

agree  Daphne Theodoraki: www.indiainfoline.com/bisc/jama/jmmo.html : Work done as part of a process of production by persons in their own homes. They are not usually employees of the business for which they work and are paid, often at very low rates, only for what they do.

Επειδή ίσως νομιστεί ότι οι ΟΕΜ εταιρείες δουλεύουν μόνο για τους κομπιουτεράδες, δίνω δυο-τρία από τα χιλιάδες παραδείγματα που υπάρχουν στο Internet (μπας και με ψηφίσει κι εμένα κανείς).

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)
The term original equipment manufacturer, popularly called the OEM (or O.E.M.), refers to a company that actually manufactures a given product. Over the years, the term OEM used in international trade has evolved to convey other meanings. The OEM---the OEM contract, or OEM arrangement, or OEM transaction---may mean:
The original manufacturer of a given product subcontracts the production of the product entirely in an exporting country. The subcontractor (the OEM supplier) follows exactly the product specifications, quality, packaging and labelling of the original product.
Subcontracting of production to overseas manufacturers is not uncommon in many countries and lines of products, particularly in developed countries, where their own productions may cost more than imports, for example toys, footwear and garments.

Παράδειγμα χρήσης (βοηθάει και στα ζητούμενα της πρότασης της Julian):

Και ένα ελληνικό παράδειγμα:
\"Δεν εκπλήσσομαι μιας και είναι γνωστό ότι η benq είναι OEM κατασκευαστής φασόν για άλλες εταιρείες\"

Το outwork είναι φασόν για τα ελληνικά φασονάδικα μέτρα.
