Arena Solutions PLM: Streamlining Project Execution for Product Development

In-Context Project Management for Product Development

Launching innovative products involves seamless cross-functional team collaboration. To achieve this, your project execution must align closely with product release processes.

Enhancing Accountability and Accelerating NPI Cycles

With Arena's project management software, project managers gain detailed control over deliverables and project schedules. Product launch teams find it easy to create, view, and manage phase-gate project processes. Design partners, suppliers, executive teams, product development teams, and cross-functional teams benefit from increased visibility, collaboration tools, and role-based access to ensure alignment throughout the product lifecycle. Improved traceability provides critical information on affected parts, engineering changes, quality actions, and more.

Driving Faster Product Development and Ensuring Connectivity with Product Records

Arena Projects empower teams with a complete history of projects linked to product records, accelerating product development cycles and ensuring seamless connectivity between the product record and processes. The software fosters team empowerment, accountability, and collaboration, enabling efficient execution and on-time product releases.
