INTENT provided strategic input and supply chian management expertise to NZMP's Project SAM that was launched in 2001 to develop an innovative, long term strategy to commit the organisation to effective planning procedures.  Project SAM received widespread recognition as  a breakthrough in Supply Chain thinking following INTENT's work with NZMP.

A 12 day workshop was undertaken with NZMP starting with an education session on Supply Chain Fundementals focusing on the Sales and Operations Planning Process.  This workshop defined the process requirements of all 7 corporate functions wiht regard to the forecasting processes resulting in an improvement in the demand planning status and understanding, integrated process documents and a new process design.
