AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Helena, MT CSMPC to Great Falls, MT P&DF

July 08, 2011

A functional review of the Helena, MT Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring originating mail processing operations from the Helena, MT Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) for ZIP Code 596 to the Great Falls, MT Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $199,968, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by January 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.
