AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Utica, NY P&DF

November 2, 2011

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 Utica, NY Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Syracuse, NY Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $3,084,864 with one-time costs not to exceed $2,512,301, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by mid-2012.

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