SOLUTIONBRIEF

Arena Supply Chain Intelligence

Monitor, Identify, and Eliminate Electronic Component Sourcing and Compliance Risks

Overview

Arena Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI), powered by Arena AI, optimizes BOMs and strengthens supply chain resilience from concept through end of life. Product teams gain faster time to market (TTM), improved on-time delivery (OTD), and increased workforce efficiency across the entire lifecycle.

Arena SCI embeds component risk identification, mitigation, and compliance throughout the product lifecycle by monitoring electronic components, recommending alternatives, and continuously evaluating compliance requirements. This provides early visibility to help product teams and supply chain partners make proactive sourcing decisions. Critical insights reduce expediting costs and production delays associated with difficult-to-source components.

High-tech product companies seek to reduce supply chain risk throughout the product lifecycle. They use Arena Supply Chain Intelligence to identify and mitigate component risk in their designs.

Proactive

Monitors BOMs to identify risky and non-compliant parts throughout the product lifecycle and suggests alternatives.

Ready to Use

Arena SCI requires no code to set up or configure. This includes tailoring the risk profile to your company’s needs.

Connected

Using Arena change management and SCI together accelerates the approval process for new supplier parts on your BOMs.

Informed Selection

Browse and evaluate components and alternatives that meet technical, compliance, and supply chain requirements before importing them into Arena.

Audit Ready

Generate and export compliance reports with supporting evidence documentation for audits and customer requests.
