Why we are making the change?
*To make mail centre despatch methods and circulation consistent with weekday
*To address Saturday quality gap
*To facilitate use of yorks and trays
*To reduce manual workload
*To advance inward international mails
Planning assumptions
*Combined 1c/2c despatch based on Fri & Sat 1c P145 data
*Despatched in yorks
*Mails to largely follow weekday 2c circulation
*Final vehicles at time of current 1c despatch
*Additional wave(s) as volume justifies over previous two hours
*Fully utilising DDT fleet
*Mail centres load assitance for outward services
*Mix of cage and yorks for pre-sort mail(still to be resolved)
*No use of planes or trains
*Mail centre arrivals Sat night/Sun morning when mail centres will be open to receive mails from the network
*Inward mails not stored at network hubs
*No sunday EMA missort hub
*No sunday afternoon despatch from NDC
Future SAWN Distribution
*Plan to schedule new SAWN following Area input and concurrence from 14th march
*We plan to use current DDT and Fleet profiles at current VOCs within paragon
*Deployment target of June 2008
