  1. MTAC Workgroup 100 Seamless Acceptance for MLOCR Environment Co-chairs Industry – Jay Gillotte USPS – Pritha Mehra

  2. Workgroup Objectives • Issue Title • Identify gaps & define capabilities for seamless acceptance for MLOCR • Issue Statement • Define capabilities of seamless acceptance for MLOCR for First Class Mail. • Desired Results • Identify gaps that inhibit electronic statements and documentation. • Evaluate Web Services and Mail.dat technologies • Define capabilities of seamless acceptance.  • Identify gaps in feedback of verification information to the mailer.

  3. Seamless Acceptance Pilot • Pilot analysis for MLOCR mailers since Sept. 06 • Prudential (IMB): 126 FCM jobs, 5,247,594 pieces • PSI (IMB): 87 FCM jobs, 869,363 pieces • ZipSort (Unique IMB): 41 FCM jobs, 52,562 pieces • Using piece scan data to verify: • Mailpiece Count • Barcode Quality • Presort Errors • Minimum Piece Count per ZIP Group • Address Validity • Address Hygeine

  4. Pilot Findings Seamless Acceptance is Feasible • Electronic Documentation Quality • Piece counts differences between Tray and Piece Files close to 0% • Piece to Tray associations are nearing 100% • Mailpiece Counts • Increases in scan rate allow accurate determination of the number of manifested pieces • Barcode Quality • High barcode quality results in 98% average scan rate • Presort Errors • Errors caught by MERLIN are also found by SAVP • Address Validity • Average 1.5% invalid POSTNET • Address Hygiene • COA and Returned Mail percentages can be evaluated

  5. Pilot Enhancements • Mailers applying Intelligent Mail® barcode with delivery point • Mailers submitting Mail.dat files • Receiving automated feed of address change information • Applying 10/24 Intelligent Tray barcode at one facility • Have initiated tray scan analysis

  6. Postage Assessment - Principles Assessment approach will be validated/revised as we pilot. • All mail and corresponding manifests within a 24 hour period treated as a single mailing • Adjustments calculated for each mailing but postage assessed on a monthly basis • Adjudication Period • Each facility treated as a separate mailing entity • Mailers can review status of each mailing as data is received • Statistical sampling used to establish tolerances for each assessment category • Adjustments can be limited to specific mail within a mailing (i.e. by machine, by mail owner) Draft

  7. Next Steps • Expand Charter of group to pilot implementation • Finalize feedback approach • Pilot postage assessment approach • Determine appropriate tolerances for each verification element • Expand pilot to other classes of mail
