FACILITATE NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Successful new product introduction (NPI) is a key goal of every new product development (NPD) effort. You must excel in all phases of product development to compete in the global market.

Distributed teams, limited market windows, and cost pressures create NPI challenges. Compounding this challenge are requirement dependencies that span electronics, sensors, and software in sophisticated products. How can your company overcome these hurdles? With Arena Requirements Management software, we eliminate obstacles that impede collaborative NPI.

Your first strategic goal as a company is to create a high-quality product on time and under budget. Arena PLM and QMS support the cross-functional, collaborative NPD and NPI processes that you need to successfully launch new products.

REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT SIMPLIFIED

Rapid product cycles—from ideation to sustaining—require interdisciplinary teams, but not multiple product systems. Multiple systems result in more work, team fatigue, and increased risks to schedules and profits. Ensuring product requirements are met early helps you innovate and satisfy your customers.

With Arena Requirements, your entire team has cross-functional, full product requirements management.

“Arena saw an opportunity to help customers earlier in the new product development (NPD) process by providing a requirements management solution that enabled them to enter requirements information into the same system linked to the product record—to make it seamless. Creating, managing, and tracking requirements in Arena, and connecting those requirements to the product record as product companies go through design and development keeps requirements at the forefront.”
