Hopefully we have a good old fashioned production planner in the house. These are the guys who look at spreadsheets all day long and figure out when inventory might be needed, which parts to make, how to coordinate suppliers, etc.
In the US Mint context, what is the interaction between the production planning department, and the needs of the Federal Reserve for coins? Essentially, the Mint is a production facility, and although the Government is not run like a private enterprise, I assume that they try to keep inventory to a minimum and not overproduce.
Does anyone have any insight into this process? In the case of outside blanks that are ordered from third parties, there must be some coordination between suppliers, scheduling manufacturing, delivery of coins, and the expected orders/coinage projections needed by the Fed.
Does anyone know?
