Overall Satisfaction with Arena PLM and QMS
My organization uses Arena PLM and QMS for quality management system documentation control daily. Being in a medical device company this control is crucial to maintain traceability of documentation and proper retention of documentation for regulatory compliance. We use it to track engineering/quality changes, supplier control, and second sourcing, as well as to track non-conformities (NC) and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). Soon we will use it for the control of non-conforming material and the appropriate follow-up with suppliers to avoid reoccurrences.
Pros
