AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Kinston, NC P&DF to Fayetteville, NC P&DC

Date:  1/28/10

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring the mail processing operations from the Kinston, NC Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Fayetteville, NC Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $1,069,209, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to begin in March.  The Kinston facility will continue to process mail sent from other areas for delivery in their service area.  There are no changes to the retail services offered at the Kinston Main Post Office.

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