Overall Satisfaction with Arena

Used by Engineering and Manufacturing teams to create and maintain BOMs. Additionally purchasing can access the saved BOMs for ordering.

Pros

  • See where used for each item and purchasing and sourcing info all laid out clearly when BOM is created correctly
  • Pictures can be added to each item
  • Cost options, prototype and production

Cons

  • Search! While searching for items with "Any" it cannot search our records extensive enough to provide a result. If I have a supplier number and search using any field, it gives NO Results, however if i search under supplier item number a result shows up. Shouldn't ANY field give a result?
  • Beyond my scope of work, unable to comment
Was not responsible for purchase, user only.
No comment
Prototype environment not suitable, as changes and navigating Arena requires too many clicks for every action. Very useful for data management and entry for static non-changing manufacturing environments.
