Christensen Associates Help Modernize the U.S. Postal Service’s International Mail Reporting System
June 23, 2016 - The Postal Regulatory Commission has approved Christensen Associates' modernization of the U.S. Postal Service's measurement and reporting of outbound international mail.
January 09, 2011 - Christensen Associates investigated areas of potential cost savings for a hypothetical one-day relaxation of service standards—defined as the number of days from entry of the mail into the postal system until delivery. We identified approximately $2.5 billion in costs for FY 2010 that are partly or wholly related to service standards. However, because of the interrelation of functions, not all of these costs are available as potential cost savings from extending service standards by one day.
