AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Beckley, WV P&DF to Charleston, WV P&DC

Date:  November 30, 2010

The Postal Service conducted an Area Mail Processing (AMP) study and determined that efficiency and productivity would be improved by transferring the mail processing operations from the Beckley, WV Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) to the Charleston, WV Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $1,093,469, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by March 2011.  There are no changes to the retail or business services offered at the Beckley Main Post Office.

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