Manumation
Template:Short description Template:Automation Script error: No such module "Side box". Script error: No such module "Distinguish". 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] This term could be seen as a sarcastic description of the digital replication and mimicking of frequently ineffective and even broken paper-based processes in first phase of the societal digitalisation, from 1995 to 2015.[1]
Manumation is also a term for automated systems, which require more manual work than the original manual process.[3]
