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

Date:  February 10, 2011

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 Muncie, IN Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Kokomo, IN P&DF.  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $504,680 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 Muncie 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 Muncie provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
