How One Manufacturing Team Saved 20 Hours per Week With Automation

In manufacturing, operational excellence is not a luxury but a necessity. Efficiency makes the difference between scaling and stagnation. Yet for many businesses, valuable hours are lost on tasks that do not require human effort.

A mid-sized manufacturing team based in İzmir was spending more than 20 hours each week on manual tasks. These included compiling production reports, managing inventory updates, and preparing shift handover notes.

The team did not lack dedication. What they lacked was automation.

They turned to COREDE with a clear objective: gain back time and focus by removing repetitive work from daily operations.

Step One: Understanding the Process

The COREDE team collaborated with plant managers and shift supervisors to map out the team's daily routines. Together, they identified the most time-consuming and repetitive workflows:

• Production logs were updated manually in spreadsheets
• Inventory levels were tracked through scattered emails
• Shift handovers were documented by hand and shared in folders

These routines had become habits, but not efficient ones.

Step Two: Building Automation That Fits

Without changing any existing software, the COREDE Flow Engine was used to create practical automations:

• A connected form automatically updated real-time production data
• Alerts were triggered when inventory reached predefined levels
• Shift summaries were auto-generated based on digital records

Implementation took just a few days. The tools already in use were simply connected in a smarter way.

The Result

In the first month, the manufacturing team achieved the following outcomes:

• Saved over 20 hours per week across three departments
• Eliminated missed inventory updates
• Made shift transitions 30 percent faster
• Reduced employee frustration and increased focus

According to the plant manager:

We did not need new systems. We just needed to stop wasting time. COREDE helped us do exactly that.

Conclusion

Repetitive tasks do not build strong teams. Clear processes do.

When time is reclaimed through smart automation, energy can be redirected to what really matters: growth, quality, and service. With COREDE, this transformation does not take months or demand technical skills. It just works.
