AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Oshkosh, WI P&DC to Green Bay, WI P&DC

Date: 11/8/10

Area Mail Processing (AMP) is the consolidation of mail processing operations from one or more postal facilities to other facilities to improve operational efficiency and/or service.

An AMP study was initiated to evaluate the transfer of originating mail processing operations from the Oshkosh, WI Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) with those performed at the Green Bay, WI P&DC. The initial results of this study support the business case for consolidation. This study, currently in review at United States Postal Service Headquarters and its Area Office, is subject to change.

A public meeting will be held to share the initial results of the study and allow members of the community to ask questions and provide feedback. The public’s input will be considered prior to a final decision.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 23, at University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh – Reeve Memorial Union, Room 227AB, 748 Algoma Boulevard, Oshkosh WI 54901 at 7:00 pm.  Below are preliminary highlights from the feasibility study:

1. Business Case:

Proposed annual savings in the draft AMP feasibility study are approximately $4.6M.

2. Postal Employees:

Due to the consolidation, a net decrease of approximately 54 positions is projected. All reassignments will be made in accordance with collective bargaining agreements.

3. Local Customer Considerations:

Services that are currently available from the Oshkosh facility will continue to be available to customers.
•	Retail hours will remain the same
•	A local postmark will be available for stamped First-Class Mail.
•	Delivery of mail to residences and businesses will not change as a result of the AMP
•	Hours of business mail acceptance will change

4. Commercial Mailers:
•	Mailers who presort mail will continue to receive applicable postage discounts.
•	Mailers who drop ship to Destination Sectional Center Facility (DSCF) 549 can expect changes if the AMP is approved.
