AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Saginaw, MI P&DC to Michigan Metroplex P&DC

March 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 Saginaw, MI Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) to the Michigan Metroplex (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $1,024,066 has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by September 2011.

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.
