A method of optimizing a mail document sorting machine, comprising:
- inputting a first datafile;
- inputting user settings;
- generating an optimized sort plan based upon a statistical analysis of the user settings and the first datafile;
- sorting mail documents based upon the optimized sort plan
- producing likely results of implementing the optimized sort plan;
- analyzing the likely results of implementing the optimized sort plan;
- producing pre-analysis results based upon the likely results;
- reporting to a user the pre-analysis results;
- analyzing the sorting;
- producing sorting results based upon analyzing the sorting;
- comparing the sorting results to the pre-analysis results;
- and
- reporting to the user the comparison between the sorting results and the pre-analysis results.
