AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Independence, KS CSMPC to Wichita Falls, KS P&DC

June 21, 2011

A functional review of the Independence, KS Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring all mail processing operations from the Independence Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) for ZIP Code 673 to the Wichita Falls, KS Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $114,573, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by October 2011.  There are no changes to the retail or business services offered at the Independence facility.

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.
