MAIL VOLUME CONTINUES TO DECLINE - DPMG TELLS EMPLOYEES CHANGE IS NEEDED TO MEET THE CHALLENGE
Matching
workhours to workload and adjusting carrier routes to reduce the need
for pivoting are among the topics discussed by DPMG and COO Pat Donahoe
in his latest Field Updates video.
With
mail volumes continuing to decline, Donahoe says now is the time for
people to step up and make the changes necessary to prepare for the
future. This includes making sure offices receiving mail processed by
flats sequencing system equipment are prepared to function efficiently
in this new environment, and to make and stabilize route adjustments.
Total
mail volume this year is expected to drop to 175 billion pieces, as
compared to a high of 213 billion pieces in 2006, according to Donahoe.
To
increase delivery efficiency, Donahoe says USPS will continue to reduce
the number of routes and move forward with other operational changes to
help reduce costs.
