ENHANCED POSTAL DATA MODELING FRAMEWORK
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining post office data that describes a workflow of a post office, wherein the post office data is incapable of being processed by a production management application;
generating, using the post office data, data that is capable of being processed by the production management application;
generating forecasted data by processing the generated data using the production management application;
generating, using the forecasted data, forecasted post office data; and
altering, by one or more computers, the workflow using the forecasted post office data.

Abstract
An enhanced postal data modeling framework, in which postal data which describes characteristics of a mail sortation process is accessed, and the postal data is mapped to production management data which describes characteristics of a model production management process in an initial state and which is capable of being processed by a production management application. The production management data is input for processing by the production management application to produce forecasted production management data which predicts characteristics of the model production management process in a subsequent state, the forecasted production management data is modeled to forecasted postal data which predicts characteristics of the mail sortation process, and at least a portion of the forecasted postal data is provided to a user.
