Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03024628A1] The invention relies on the fact that a sorting machine in a distribution order can process a substantially higher number of distribution order points within a sorting process, than necessary for sorting in one or several real distribution orders, based on the available pigeon holes. Real distribution order points with large quantities of mailing pieces are distributed between several virtual distribution order points with as small as possible quantities of mailing pieces. The quantities of mailing pieces statistically determined for each real distribution order point of a defined distribution order are distributed between the virtual distribution order points, as regularly as possible, for the sorting passes preceding the final sorting pass. Then, the sorting passes preceding the final sorting pass are executed. The final sorting pass is thus executed, such that the mailing pieces of a distribution order are sorted into adjacent pigeon holes.
