AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Fort Scott, KS CSMPC to Kansas City, MO P&DC

July 12, 2011

A functional review of the Fort Scott, KS Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring all mail processing operations from the Ft Scott, KS Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) for ZIP Code 667 to the Kansas City, MO Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $40,865, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by October 2011.  There are no changes to the retail or business acceptance unit at the Fort Scott facility.

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.
