AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Hays, KS PO to Salina, KS CSMPC

June 30, 2011

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring the originating operations from the Hays Post Office (PO) to the Salina Customer Service Mail Processing Center.  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $89,471, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by January 2012.  There are no changes to the retail or business acceptance unit at the Hays 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.
