AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Flagstaff, AZ CSMPC to Phoenix, AZ P&DC

August 4, 2011

A functional review of the Flagstaff AZ Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring mail processing operations from the Flagstaff AZ Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) for ZIP Code 860 to the Phoenix AZ Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $381,215 with one-time costs not to exceed $51,420, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by October 2011.

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.
