Australia Post

In 1999, Australia Post appointed SKILLED as the maintenance service provider for new technology being installed at two locations, Dandenong and Strathfield NSW known as Tray Management System. Since then, Australia Post has embarked on a number of major change programs designed to improve commercial performance and profitability. In Melbourne, network rationalisation resulted in the centralisation of the city's letter processing at Dandenong Letters Centre (DLC). To continue the centralisation of mail processing facilities, Australia Post in 2002, purchased additional equipment and transferred existing letter sorting equipment to increase the production capacity of the DLC. SKILLED was engaged to effect the installation of the equipment which required complex scheduling processes so as not to affect the productivity of either letter centre.
