Integrated Operating Plan AM Standard Operating Procedure AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Integrated Operating Plan • Definition The process of aligning P&DC and Customer Service operations to provide our customers with consistent, reliable service every day • History • Background AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
The Cycle • The daily 24-hour operational cycle starts with • Carrier returning on time Based on • Carrier leaving on time Based on • Carrier office consistency Based on • Transportation leaving on time Based on • Plant Operating Plan achievement Based on • Carrier returning on time AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Seven Guiding Principles • Carriers leave on time every day • Plant provides a consistent, planned product flow on each trip • Transportation leaves on time • All operational problems are short stopped and reported where they occur AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Seven Guiding Principles • Problems are resolved through the communication customer feedback process • Full preventive maintenance is performed on all equipment as scheduled • All operations are supported by written, customer based contingency plans AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Delivery Unit and Plant Contracts • Plant Inter-Tour • Plant to Delivery Unit • Percentage of mail on each trip by mail type • Measurement: DOIS Dispatch Feedback Report • Delivery Unit to Plant • Collections and Mail Preparation • Measurement: DOIS Late Leaving / Returning Report AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Start-Up and Implementation • IOP Pre-Implementation • IOP Implementation Preparation • Backwards Processing Model AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Pre- Implementation • Senior Management Commitment • Understanding of Guiding Principles • Communication Network Availability • Delivery Unit Readiness • F2 Carrier Leave Times Adjusted • F4 Reviews • Staffing Analysis • Timeline • IOP Implementation AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Implementation Preparation • Project Manager Selected • Team Member Selection with mix of Plant, Delivery, and Computer skills (Minimum of 4 full time - 2 Plant and 2 Delivery, NTE 1 year) • Team Members Assigned Duties • Baseline operations • Training (Guiding Principles, Overview, Communicate the Plan to All Employees) • Ramp-Up (CET at Delivery Unit, Processing Windows by Mail Type, Identify Dispatch Schedules) • Create Dispatch Plan • Start IOP AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Backwards Processing Model • Identify Actual Mail Arrival Profile at Delivery Units • Delivery Units Provide Needed Mail Arrival Profile based on Current Carrier Reporting Times • 100% Committed flats by reporting time • 80% of caseable mail by reporting • Formal Negotiation (Delivery Units, Inter-Tour, Inter-Plant, BMEU/Plant) • Plant Adjustments / Delivery Unit Adjustments • Re-Examine • Adjust AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan

How It Supports AM SOP • Contracts must support AM SOP. • Mail flow and processing must be re-engineered to provide requirements to Customer Service. • Consistent reliable mail flow is a must. • Indicators must be in place to measure IOP effectiveness AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Integrated Operating Plan - Contracts • Percentage of mail for each trip determined. • Percentage of mail being automated and finalized for carrier distribution. Target 80% secondary flats, 85% DPS. • 100% of committed flats available by carrier start time • 80% of caseable mail available by carrier start • Separation of Standard and Pref. Flats • Timely dispatch of transportation. AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Integrated Operating Plan - Transportation • All trips must leave on time. • All trips must contain the proper amount of mail as per the contracts. • Mail must be prepared in accordance with the contracts. • Transportation should be reviewed to ensure it meets the requirements. AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Dispatch Profile to Delivery Unit AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Dispatch Profile to Delivery Unit AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Dispatch Profile to Plant • CFS Mail leaves on 1st P.M. dispatch truck. Letters trayed & sleeved. Flats in tubs with lids. Correctly labeled. • All available collection mail on every PM dispatch truck. Culled to the Collection S.O.P. & properly labeled. • Backflow-properly labeled, bands cut, plastic off and dispatched on earliest transportation. • All RTS/ ACS must be prepared with proper labels. Sleeved and tagged if necessary. Dispatched on earliest PM transportation. AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Dispatch Profile to Plant • LOOP/MISSENT must be dispatched on earliest transportation. Properly labeled • All empty equipment must be sent back to plant on earliest truck. • All empty trays in one APC. All empty tubs in another APC. Nothing in BMC’s. No wooden pallets. All Plastic pallets together. ALL TAGS REMOVED. • All Insufficient Address Mail is worked in station, or sent back to Sender. Do NOT send to plant unworked. • All transportation leaves on time AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Delivery Unit Check-off List • Have you completed and submitted your SOP/Contingency Plans? • Are your routes properly adjusted? • Are your routes leaving on time? • Are your routes returning on time? • Is your Function 4 staffing adequate? • Is your collection mail being properly prepared? • Is your empty equipment being returned properly? AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
IOP Delivery Unit Check-off List • Is your transportation arriving on time? • Is your transportation leaving on time? • Is your preventive maintenance (DBCS/CSBCS) schedule adhered to? • Are you messaging I.O.P. to your employees daily/weekly? (Stand-Up Talks) • Are you adhering to all SOP’s concerning CFS/RTS/LOOP/MISSENT mail? AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Delivery Unit Process Indicators AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Delivery Unit IOP Tracking • IOP compliance will be measured based on two DOIS reports • The Dispatch Feedback Report will measure compliance with AM volume arrival agreements from the plant to delivery units • The Late Leaving / Returning Report will measure compliance with PM collection arrival agreements from delivery units to the plant AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
DOIS Dispatch Feedback Report • The DOIS Dispatch Feedback report will be used to determine if plant operations are meeting IOP agreements. • DOIS Setup and Usage • Dispatch Information in DOIS must match the IOP agreement – times, trips, and mail percentages • Record volumes by trip • Use the actual trip arrival as the time entry instead of when the volume is actually recorded AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Dispatch Setup in DOIS AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
DOIS Dispatch Feedback Report • Shows the planned percentage of volume available by trip • Shows the actual percentage of volume available by trip • The plan compared to the actual percentage serves as the basis for determining if the IOP agreement is working AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
DOIS Dispatch Feedback Report - Selection AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
DOIS Dispatch Feedback Report - Example AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Dispatch Feedback Report Goal • Goal • Daily Review and Corrective Action as Needed • Volume arrival complies with IOP agreement 95% or higher over the previous four weeks AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Late Leaving / Returning Report • DOIS 1813 – Late Leaving / Returning Report will be used • To determine if routes are leaving on time when volume is received on time according to the IOP • To determine if delivery units are meeting their goal to provide collection mail timely to the plant as part of IOP by getting carriers back on time AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
DOIS 1813-Late Leaving / Returning AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
Late Leaving and Returning Report AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
DOIS Late Leaving / Returning • Late Leaving / Returning Goal • Daily Review and Corrective Action Taken as Needed • Carriers leave on time 95% higher over the previous four weeks • Carriers returning on time 95% or higher over the previous four weeks indicates whether the collection mail will arrive as scheduled at the plant in compliance with the IOP AM SOP Integrated Operating Plan
