Network Processing

USPS OIG

 

To accept and deliver more than 177 billion pieces of mail annually, the U.S. Postal Service developed a large processing infrastructure, which includes 599 mail processing facilities and more than 130,000 employees. The Office of Inspector General’s work in this area helps the Postal Service ensure timely and accurate delivery of mail and explore ways to enhance accepting and processing mail.

The Network Processing Directorate seeks to determine whether the Postal Service is efficiently processing mail and effectively streamlining the existing mail processing network and reducing costs. To that end, they plan and direct audits and reviews focusing on the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of mail processing operations, as well as logistics activities supporting these operations.
