Charlie Barnhart & Associates LLC focuses on the intersection between the electronics OEM and its electronics manufacturing services provider. We collect detailed case study data on the costs of these services.  OEMs use this data to benchmark their own internal and external costs against industry standards, compared by end market sector, approach and scale of the program in over 20 geographies. We present this data to the industry through our workshops and webinars.

We also help EMS companies with their business development programs by providing listing and liaison services to their OEM customers.
