BOM Where-Used Poor Excellent It can be difficult to tie multiple product BOM spreadsheets together to analyze and understand
assembly relationships, and making repetitive and tedious data entries wastes time. With Arena, it
takes no time at all to view immediate and top-level assembly relationships for an item or assembly.
With Excel it's difficult to track changes and determine the overall impact a change has on other
BOM Redlining Poor Excellent assemblies. Arena provides manufacturers with a way to view differences between adjacent or
discontinuous revisions of a specific assembly, and track changes to quantity, name, number,
reference designators and more.
Comparing multiple Excel BOMs can be a challenging and time-consuming process. Because Arena is
BOM Comparison Poor Excellent built on a relational database, it's easy to compare differences like quantity, reference designator,
and substitute items between an item’s BOM and any number of other items’ BOM.
Pulling cost data from an Excel BOM spreadsheet is a laborious and frustrating process. Arena
Costed BOM Poor Excellent provides a way to track your fully costed BOM and/or product for prototype and production costs on
assemblies and products. Manufacturers can use quotes or estimates to calculate the percentage
costs of various components or assemblies for complete products within Arena as well as view price,
target cost and standard cost for each item.
With Excel BOMs, it's difficult to identify which spreadsheet file is the latest version and whether the
Versioning Poor Excellent revision is correct. In Arena, manufacturers can visually track item, assembly and product status as it
moves from concept to design to production.
When BOMs are built in a spreadsheet, there are limited ways to manipulate the data, and it can be
BOM Views Poor Excellent difficult to create personalized views for everyone who needs access. Arena offers role-based views
of the product structure (e.g., indented, flat, sourcing, custom) based on a user's specific business
needs.
With Excel, product revisions are tracked with spreadsheets and controlled file shares. BOM
BOM History Poor Excellent management capabilities in Arena help manufacturers retain product history with redline
comparisons between current and previous revisions. This allows complex product history and
changes to be viewed quickly and easily.
Spreadsheets can be locked and password protected, but the data can be edited and re-saved easily,
Security Poor Excellent putting intellectual property at risk. With Arena, you can control who has access to the product data,
as well as how much access and interaction each user has.
