APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WORKLOAD BALANCING OF POSTAL DELIVERY

摘要

An apparatus for controlling the load of mail delivery and a method thereof are provided to adjust the number of postmen flexibly according to each day of the week. The delivery expectation quantity of a distributing post office is calculated from mail-quantity information of the distributing post office(S204). The preliminary load amounts of each postal district are calculated based on the delivery expectation quantity(S206). The postmen of each postal district are controlled based on the preliminary load amounts(S210). The delivery work load amounts of each postal district are calculated based on the number of postmen within each postal district(S214). Until the delivery work load of each postal district is equalized, the number of postmen within each postal district is controlled(S216).
