Postal Contribution The European Posts contribute nearly 1,3 % of the Community GDP and are one of the largest employers in the Community, employing 1,7 million people. Levels of business are indicated by: • more than 27.000 tonnes of letters are transported across European borders each month, with significant volume variations on a daily basis on each route • in 1998 the Posts generated almost 4.500 million international letters and almost 39 million parcels • the 21 IPC postal members operate more than 1800 transports from over 200 international locations on a daily basis.
Project Objectives “to transfer and deploy established best practices so that pre-accession countries can operate their postal services to the standard expected by European users and required by the Community Postal Directives”
CAPERS specific aims • implement the necessary technical systems • operate the systems live • train operators • lay the foundation for development of operational expertise between the Pre-accession Posts • monitor quality-of-service improvements • document and disseminate the lessons learned
Bestpractice • must be seen on several levels: technical, managerial, organizational • it goes through different lifecycles of the project from the implementation, to live operation both locally and within a trading community
Competence involved The principle source of expertise comes from PostEurop and IPC. However Postal operators such as Finland Post, An Post and Consignia are co-operating with CAPERS and provide experts for special areas of interest.
The CAPERS Posts work on 4 areas in parallel • Operations: Cross-functional team-work in the CAPERS Posts ensures that operations staff are prepared for the new system • Infrastructure: Posts develop their local infrastructure to network exchange offices • Systems: Investigations into the available systems are carried out and the results shared amongst partners • Piloting: Early piloting of the messages with a central test-bed helps Posts gain experience and understand how a final system should be implemented locally

Business Benefits • OperationalEfficiency • Pre-Planning • Quality of service • Transport performance • Long-term planning • Accounting
Conclusions • Previously manual processes are streamlined and automated (e-business) • Visibility comes to the logistics chain (e-trading) • Quality and pre-planning systems create new roles and responsibilities for high added value work (e-work) • Personnel who had never touched computers before use them as a part of everyday work (e-work)
