AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Hutchinson, KS MPO to Wichita, KS P&DC

June 27, 2011

A functional review of the Hutchinson KS Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring originating mail processing operations from the Hutchinson Main Post Office (MPO) for ZIP Code 675 to the Wichita Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $58,391, 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.
