AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Wheeling WV P&DF to Pittsburgh PA P&DC

October 14, 2011

A functional review of the Wheeling WV Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring mail processing operations from the Wheeling WV Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) for ZIP Code 260 to the Pittsburgh PA Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $1,154,537 with one-time costs not to exceed $17,388, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by March 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.
