Full Text:
The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may, if necessary, be reduced to a judgment in any court to which the Parties have consented to jurisdiction as set forth in the Agreement.
Hello,
I am having a problem to grab the idea of this verb 'reduce' in this sentence. It looks to me like the arbitrator's decision can be converted to a judgement in a court. But I don't know if such thing is possible. Please help me.

converted to a judgment
Indeed, it seems that the verb "reduce" in this context means "transform" or "convert". There are several results in a Google search which show this. One of them is given below.
"Reducing" the arbitration award to a court judgment gives the award additional "clout" for enforcement as it becomes a legal matter, no longer subject to the arbitration rules.

Example sentence:
Once confirmed, the award is then reduced to an enforceable judgment, which may be enforced by the winning party in court, like any other judgment.

Comment: "Your explanation and the link were very useful. I found the equivalent clause in Japan' Arbitration Law.
Thank you, Martin. Much obliged!"

be scaled down to a judgement
In my view, it can mean that a judgement in a court is a less severe alternative to what was originally intended by the arbitrator and it can be chosen as an outcome of the process. The reason for that might be that the decision shall be final and, therefore, there is a need for a rapid solution.
