AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Columbus, GA CSMPC to Macon, GA P&DC

Date:  5/26/10

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring the originating mail processing operations from the Columbus, GA Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) to the Macon, GA Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $973,699, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by July 1, 2010.  There are no changes to the retail or business services offered at the Columbus, GA facility.

The Postal Service must continually evaluate the opportunity to improve productivity and increase efficiency while maintaining excellent service.  The transfer of outgoing mail from Columbus, GA provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
