Data currently provides insights into the percentage of bundle breakage by class, entry location, and mailer.
Logic: A bundle is deemed broken if multiple pieces from a single eDoc bundle are scanned on APPS/APBS

Currently available, only for Full-Service mailers, providing associated tray and bundle IDs through eDoc.
In September 2016, 61% of all flats entered were full service
Potential to add Bundle
Breakage metric on
Mailer Scorecard (Full
Service)
Potential to apply
similar logic for Non-Full
Service mailings with
electronic manifest and
accurate nesting

Can measure total volume processed.
Can measure and record total work hours spent on allied operations.
No clear line-of-sight in allied operation to specific products. Allied
operations
is a challenge

5. Increased Transportation Time and Cost
Can measure cycle times of bundles, nested to containers, observed through scanning.
Currently available, only for Full-Service mailers, providing associated tray and bundle IDs through eDoc.
