  24. Mail Not In Measurement 24

  25. Mail Not In MeasurementExclusion Reason Overview 1 2 3 Lack of, or inconsistent mail visibility data Discrepancy in eDoc Preparation: eDoc are evaluated against business rules and operational data to determine if mail should be excluded. Discrepancy in Mail Preparation: Operational data points collected during mail acceptance, induction, and/or processing are evaluated to determine if mail should be excluded. • No Container Unload Scan or FAST Appointment (Start-the-Clock) • No Piece Scan (Stop-the-Clock) • Stop scan observed before Start-the-Clock (Logical mailings) • Business rules (e.g. Full Service compliance check for unique barcode) • USPS operational data (e.g. FAST Appointments, SV Unload Scans) • Acceptance: Manual or MERLIN PBV Verification Failures • Induction: Irregularities captured in FAST or SV • Processing: Change of Address (COA), Undeliverable as Addressed (UAA), Invalid Delivery Point (DPV). The measurement system detects the above scenarios and automatically excludes the appropriate mail from measurement. Three main categories of reasons why Full Service mail can be excluded from service measurement:

  26. Periodicals (Flats) National Volume Not In Measurement • In June 2014, 34% of Commercial Periodicals Flats • were not in service measurement June 2014

  28. Standard Mail® (Letters) National Volume Not In Measurement • In June 2014, 26% of Commercial Standard Mail Letters • were not in service measurement June 2014

  29. Mail Not In MeasurementExclusion Reason Breakdown In June 2014, 36% of Full Service Standard Mail Letters entered in the Southern Area were excluded from service measurement

  30. Standard Mail® (Flats) National Volume Not In Measurement • In June 2014, 19% of Commercial Standard Mail Flats • were notin service measurement June 2014

  42. Bundle Breakage Analysis • To determine the service impact of broken bundles: • The top piece in a bundle has no APPS/APBS scan • But, scans on other pieces in that bundle • In June, 8.5% of the bundles were determined to be broken • ~11% for Standard Mail • ~4% for Periodicals • For Standard Mail, broken bundles had a 1.9% lower service score than unbroken bundles • For Periodicals, broken bundles had a 9.7% lower service score than unbroken bundles Based on analysis of June 2014 IMb scans and eDoc nesting data
