AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Tupelo, MS CSMPC to Memphis, TN P&DC

Date:  7/21/10

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 Tupelo, MS Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) to the Memphis, TN Processing and Distribution Center.  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $180,619, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by October 2010.  There are no changes to the retail or business services offered at the Tupelo 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 Tupelo provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
