Letter Carrier Route Measurement System Manual (LCRMS)
Share This
The Letter Carrier Route Measurement System was developed to provide management with a means to assess and adjust, on a National basis, an equitable workload for individual letter carrier routes.
The system is designed in accordance with engineered standards and method study techniques, and consists basically of the application of time values to each segment of the duties performed by an average experienced Letter Carrier in the sortation, preparation and delivery of mail.
Mail Operations Policy and Program Development is responsible for the policies and procedures pertaining to the Route Measurement and audit systems. Regional General Managers are responsible for the implementation of Route Measurement and audit procedures.
To ensure the equality and objectivity of the program, detailed instructions and procedures contained in this manual must be followed by Route Measurement Officers in the various regions when establishing letter carrier routes at each individual letter carrier unit. However, in the application of the system, discretion should be exercised to ensure that any exceptional circumstances which could disturb the assessment on a route are given proper consideration.
In this Manual, the masculine gender is considered a neutral term that refers to both males and females without discrimination.
It is further recognized and understood that certain provisions of the current CUPW collective agreement contain special rules and/or qualifiers with respect to the day to day application of the LCRMS and that where those provisions exist, they will prevail.
Should isolated instances indicate the need for modification of or deviation from these instructions and procedures, in order to rectify a particular anomaly, Regional Operational Services will advise the Manager of Mail Operations Policy and Program Development in order that any possible national policy or procedural implications that could result may be identified and examined.
This manual is registered with Configuration Management at Head Office, #T455013. Any changes required to the Manual must be processed through this group.
