German term or phrase: einschichtig
Context:

"Nach Möglichkeit einschichtig!"

Discussing the data for determining the cycle time, immediately after listing the number of parts of each type per year to be produced. I presume this refers to single-shift operation rather tha single-layer application, e.g. of sealant (cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/3887960 ), but it seems somewhat unequivocal.
