Overproduction of stamps
"OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
Stamp Manufacturing and Inventory Management Audit Report July 23, 2012 .... WHAT THE OIG FOUND: The Postal Service's adoption of the Forever stamp has generally alleviated concerns regarding over-production and destruction of definitive First-Class Mail stamps. However, due to the unique nature of commemorative and special issue stamps, production volumes require closer management scrutiny. Specifically, we found the Postal Service overproduced 2 billion commemorative and special issue stamps during calendar years 2009 and 2010, resulting in $2 million of unnecessary manufacturing costs annually for stamps that were later destroyed. This occurred because the Postal Service did not develop and document an objective forecasting methodology and review process to determine stamp stock demand. In addition, reduced visibility in retail units hinders accurate forecasting and inventory management." www.uspsoig.gov/foia_files/MS-AR-12-006.pdf -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
