A mail processing system in which an estimated group of mail pieces is sorted in a mailroom area and delivered to a preset number of mailboxes is provided. The mail processing system includes a memory for storing information related to sorting and delivery and a processor that uses the sorting and delivery related information to determine, (i) an amount of time required to sort the estimated group of mail pieces, and (ii) an amount of time required to deliver the estimated group of mail pieces to the mail boxes. Operation of the mailroom may be evaluated by comparing a sum of the amount of time required to sort the estimated group of mail pieces and the amount of time required to deliver the estimated group of mail pieces to the preset number of mail boxes with an amount of time available for both sorting the estimated group of mail pieces and delivering the mail pieces to the preset number of mail boxes.
