AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) PROPOSAL SUMMARY
Winchester, VA PO to Dulles, VA P&DC

Date:  7/23/09

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring the outgoing and incoming mail processing operations from the Winchester, VA Post Office (PO) to the Dulles, VA Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $1,583,944, has been approved.  The Winchester Post Office will continue to deliver mail to customers in their service area.  There are no changes to the retail or business services offered at the Winchester Post Office. 

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