AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Bemidji, MN CSMPC to St. Cloud, MN, P&DF

November 21, 2011

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 Bemidji, MN Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) to the St. Cloud, MN Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $662,839 with one-time costs not to exceed $17,560, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by July 2012.

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.
