(bullet)Deployment continues through mid-2011
(bullet)Overall deployment schedule revised to include redirections 
(bullet)Field readiness on target
(dash)Focus on preparation and transition to operations
End of text information.

Notes:
Before we discuss delivery results, allow me to provide a brief status update for deployment. 
No program of this magnitude could hope to be successful without proper maintenance, so two full FSS systems were installed in our national training center to provide for maintenance employee training. 
As of October 2009 four sites were processing flats on FSS. Deployment continues through summer 2011.
The overall schedule was adjusted to include redirecting some equipment to additional sites. 
All FSS sites are on target with the steps required to prepare for the arrival of FSS.

Slide 3:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: Integrated Tray Converter 
The words included are:
Three images with words and arrows as follows, left to right, top to bottom:
Automating Second Pass Feeding
Under these words is the image 1 of a snapshot of a Integrated Tray Converter (ITC).  Under this snapshot is the words:
Integrated Tray Converter (ITC)
To the left is the words as follows:
1st Pass Mail
In RCTs
Under these words is the image 2 of a snapshot of the RCTs.  It has a black arrow pointing to the snapshot of a Integrated Tray Converter (ITC). 
To the right is the words as follows:
ACTs
Under these words is the image 3 of a snapshot of the Sorter Carousel.  It has a black arrow pointing to the snapshot of ACTs, from the snapshot of the Integrated Tray Converter (ITC).  
End of text information.

Image Information:
A snapshot of a chart for the DPS Letter and Cased Volume History (City Delivery).
The chart goes as follows:
At the far left, the percents are:
0.0
10.0
20.0
30.0
40.0
50.0
60.0
70.0
80.0
90.0
100.0
Under the chart it goes from 1993 - 2010 YTD
The words 'Fiscal Year' is under the years.
There is a red line coming from the 100.0 percent with the words 'Cased Letters' under it and the line goes to 2010.  
End of red line.
There is a green line going to 0 to 97% with the words 'DPS Letters' under it. It goes from the years 1993 - 2010.
End of green line.
There is a blue line coming from the 82% to 85% with the words 'DPS Flats' under it.   It goes from the years 2008 - 2010.
End of blue line.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
Here is the DPS letter graph we looked at earlier. You can see that based on our early results, we are anticipating flats DPS% above 80% without the gradual buildup over many years that we experienced with letter automation. 

Now let’s take a look at how FSS is working in our first site.  
End of Slide 3.



Slide 4:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: Transition to operations – Dulles VA  
The words included are:
(square used as a bullet)Pre-production Site 
(square used as a bullet)First Production Site
(square used as a bullet)Sequencing on 4 FSS
(square used as a bullet)Sequencing flats for 40+ delivery units & 1,200+ routes
(square used as a bullet)Route adjustments in FSS offices have eliminated full-time routes
(square used as a bullet)Downsized casing equipment capturing delivery space
(square used as a bullet)Delivery vehicles have been freed up for redeployment
End of text information.

Image Information:
Two images:
Image 1:
At the far left bottom corner is a snapshot of a United States Postal Mail Truck, with a mailman driving it, delivering mail in a mail box.
Image 2:
At the far right top corner is a snapshot of the operations in  FSS in Dulles, Va.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
Our Dulles VA processing facility has extensive experience with flats sequencing.  They housed the pre-production machine and began operations in the fall of 2007. They also received the first production FSS in early summer of 2008.  
They have proven successful in sequencing flats, reducing casing equipment, adjusting routes and redeploying delivery vehicles. 

I have some photos to share from the Northern VA delivery units served by Dulles. 
End of Slide 4.



Slide 5:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: Manual Sequencing for Delivery
End of text information.

Image Information:
At the center is a snapshot of an mail clerk putting mail in slots of the carrier case.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
You may recall seeing this photo earlier in the presentation, but I wanted to show it again to contrast the manual environment with the automated one.  Note the 3 sections of the case and the amount of mail in the case.  
End of Slide 5.



Slide 6:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: DPS Flats – Today, Fairfax VA  
End of text information.

Image Information:
At the center is a snapshot a Post Office full of CASTRs.
End of Image information. 


Notes:
If you recall earlier I shared a picture of the DPS letters that are staged by the back door of a delivery unit– this is what it now looks like.  In addition to the letters, flats are staged in the CASTRs filled with street trays of sequenced flats.

This photo was taken at the Fairfax Main Post Office.  Think about the picture of the delivery case that was full of letters and flats and now we’ll look at today’s environment once we sequence the letters and flats and remove them from the manual sequencing process and the letter case. 
End of Slide 6.



Slide 7:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: Fairfax – FSS Route 
End of text information.

Image Information:
In the middle is a snapshot of a Letter Carriers Case.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
This a letter carriers case once the letter and flat volume have been sequenced using automation; mail is now staged away from the individual manual casing operation– at the back door.
In this particular case—the overall casing equipment has been reduced by 1/3, or one wing removed and you notice quite a reduction in the mail volume in the case even though the carrier is still delivering to the same number of addresses.  
End of Slide 7.



Slide 8:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: Fairfax – FSS Route 
End of text information.

Image Information:
In the middle is a snapshot of a Letter Carriers Case.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
A step further– the actual casing equipment has been downsized for some routes due to the reduction in manual workload.

In this scenario, no longer is 120 sq feet of operational space required to support an individual route.  
End of Slide 8.



Slide 9:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: Fairfax – The Results
End of text information.

Image Information:
In the middle is a snapshot of many empty cases.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
This reduction of casing equipment results in a new problem – what do we do with all those cases?  Here they are stored in the covered parking area of a delivery unit.   
End of Slide 9.



Slide 10:
United States Postal Service Logo in the far left top corner.
Has the heading: FSS Benefits 
The words included are:
(square used for bullet)Substitute Technology for Manual Labor 
(square used for bullet)Manage Delivery Growth
(square used for bullet)Reduction in Future Delivery Vehicles
(square used for bullet)Reduction in Facility (Delivery Unit) Space Needs
(square used for bullet)Improve Processing Performance and Service

(square used for bullet)Create Lowest-Combined-Cost System
End of text information.

Image Information:

End of Image information. 

Notes:
In addition to substituting the manual casing of flats with technology– there are many other benefits from Flats Sequencing.  Sequencing both letters and flats greatly expand the benefits to the USPS, well beyond labor savings.
The FSS program will permit us to consolidate delivery routes and assist us in managing growth, this provides a greater opportunity for optimizing routes-- enabling a more efficient and predictable delivery environment.   
Managing our Vehicle Fleet will be realized by our ability to absorb growth, adding less routes and ultimately purchasing fewer delivery vehicles.
Reduction in delivery unit space needs - can be realized by looking at the future of casing equipment– potentially reducing the footprint and our delivery unit floor space needs– ultimately reducing our needs in customer service facilities.  
Other benefits include: Processing Performance Improvements and End-to-End Visibility – production control systems in FSS will go hand-in-hand with the Intelligent Mail Barcode strategy and Surface Visibility, and capture more information about the mail– providing more information to our mailers.
