Manumation

From HandWiki
Short description: Hardware control systems

Manumation is the automation of paper based processes in public sector and business without improvement regarding its efficiency.[1] Automation of an inefficient process does not lead to an improvement in case of manumation.[2]

Manumation is also a term for automated systems, which require more manual work than the original manual process.[3]
