AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Wilkes Barre, PA P&DF to Scranton, PA P&DC and Lehigh Valley, PA P&DC

Date:  8/27/09

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring all mail processing operations from the Wilkes Barre, PA Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Scranton, PA and Lehigh Valley, PA Processing and Distribution Centers (P&DCs).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $6,095,973, has been approved.

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 Wilkes Barre provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
