United States Postal Service

The main purpose of this book is intended to show what was and what could have been accomplished in terms of economic benefits, based on the enormous deployment of; mechanization, fixed mechanization and automation after the 1970 Re-organization. Then realizing that the Postal Service will be moving into a future period of limited potential for ongoing meaningful reductions in operating costs from the deployment of automation equipment, I decided to also provide some options for future productivity improvements. However, the various issues raised in this book should also provide the Postal Service other options to deal with current and future needs.
