Plexus Planning changes its name to BOXARR

Provider of advanced solution to solve the challenges of Interdependent Systems Management (ISM), Plexus Planning, announced it has changed its name to BOXARR.

The new name is based on the company's core value of simple-to-construct BOXes and ARRows networks, which form the foundation of the BOXARR solution. BOXARR is ideally suited to model and provide analysis of the most complex networks of interdependency that are common in systems engineering, supply-chains and process & project schedules.

BOXARR enables the easy identification of critical dependencies and interactions, allowing understanding & mitigation of risks, the optimisation of resource schedules, evaluation of sourcing alternatives, successful arbitration of conflicting requirements, and to safely evaluate what-if alternatives. This solution enables the avoidance of the enormous cost and timescale overruns typical of large, complex projects by achieving the optimum trade-off between requirements, cost, timescale and risk.
