AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Lafayette, IN P&DF to Kokomo, IN P&DC

Date:  January 6, 2011 revised

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring the originating mail processing operations from the Lafayette, IN Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Kokomo, IN P&DF.  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $485,730, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by June 2011.  There are no changes to the retail or business services offered at the Lafayette facility.

The Postal Service must continually evaluate the opportunity to improve productivity and increase efficiency while maintaining excellent service.  The transfer of originating mail processing operations from Lafayette provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
