CSS machines in mail centres

Post by db »

Which mail centres have CSS machines in them? And are they currently trying to move them out due to "national agreements"
We currently do large sequence sorting on imps and this is being moved onto our CSS and the smaller batches are being shipped out to other mpu's

I don't know about shipping work from mail centres to MPUs. They've spent the past 18 months trying to move the work from our MPU back to the mail centre, even though they don't have the capacity. So I doubt if there is a national agreement on this.

At my MC we've got 8 CSS machines but we've heard we are losing a ILSM so going down to 6 due to lack of work. Re MPUs we've lost 2 but the work has moved to the remaining MPUs

Swindon have got 5 and probably not going to lose any - they've just spent god knows how much moving them all from one side to the middle of the building, surely if they were being taken out they wouldn't have been moved! :crazy:

We're an MPU and our operation is closing down in the next 4 weeks and everything is being transferred to Swindon Mail Centre. The CSS machines are being mothballed!!!

an OX mpu would be a likely candidate

How many of you still do CSS secuencing on imps?
