Overall Satisfaction with Arena PLM and QMS

[It is] used to track BOMs, suppliers, and ECOs. [It is] used across the R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain groups. The contract manufacturer has access to view ECOs, build documents, and all other necessary information. Arena PLM is especially useful in handling part and component supply chain issues by easily allowing us to add alternate suppliers.

Pros

  • Handle supply chain issues
  • Track "where used" for any part
  • Clear revision history

Cons

  • Complicated UI, lots of buttons
  • Not a very natural search function
  • Reduce complications with contract manufacturer
  • Increase quality of build
  • Simplify supply chain issues
  • Product Features
  • Product Reputation
The immense product features are most important [and] make Arena PLM [and QMS] usable in many cases.
Implementation was a smooth process.
