Mail Distribution has always been a vital component within an enterprise and represents a portal that requires an error free flow of both inbound and outbound mail related processes. The CMS team of mail experts will review current mailing processes, internal delivery methods, mail technologies and the entire "chain of custody" of the mail pieces. CMS will benchmark all mail related functions against a proprietary database created by CMS and represented by 14 years of Mail Distribution studies.
CMS can work with our clients to re-engineer their mail related functions, develop a RFP document to outsource Mail Distribution or assist with benchmarking the present mail staff for the best price point with the highest level of service.

Kaizen Analysis and Total Quality Management (TQM)
The economic pressures on organizations today demand that products and services are delivered on time, within the budget guidelines and error-free. The business mantra often heard is "Doing More for Less". Thousands of companies with $1 million to $200 million in annual revenues have discovered the need to "Doing it Right the First Time, Always".
The CMS team of trained quality experts uses both the Kaizen method, which allows any business process to be analyzed for redundant process steps and the TQM program, which embraces business process re-engineering and problem solving techniques. The combination of these two dynamic quality programs will produce the most efficient process and the highest levels of output.

Since 9/11 the threat of terrorism within a mail distribution center has taken on a heightened awareness. This awareness can be best validated by the increased security protocols written by an enterprise security team. The Mail Center still represents the most vulnerable entry portal for a potential terrorist attack. In the 9 years proceeding 9/11, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has responded to 6,000 potential acts of terrorism with roots traced back to mail distribution.
CMS has written mail distribution security protocols for government agencies, corporate and legal clients. The security protocols included both mail entry and exit strategies, relocation to off-site locations of the existing on-site mail centers, X-ray and Anthrax solutions and a myriad of mail technologies to detect intrusive devices and chemical threats.
Many of our clients realize that a potential security breach in the mail distribution center requires an escalation of their respective security protocols. With this threat comes the possibility of a building evacuation... which translates quickly into a costly business interruption. A CMS client that was forced to evacuate a building in New York City found that a lost billing day due to a mail distribution center threat resulted in $11 million of lost revenue.
