Abstract

The development of automatic delivery sequence sorting system entails enormous cost and time, yet it is still an essential element that determines the future of the postal service. In this paper, we select executive alternatives that consider restrictive conditions both in terms of physical environments as well as technical factors such as the location where the mail is sorted, the location where the addresses are read, and the types of video coding for unread addresses. Then, we evaluate the alternatives by performing cost and performance analyses on processing time, machine utilization and throughput. Lastly, we perform an analysis on the overall business to reflect on the qualitative factors.
