labor intensity


Explanation:
For example, "a reduction in labor intensity and processing times". It would probably be better here to use the adjective "labor-intensive" instead of the noun: "faster and less labor-intensive processing".

Examples:
(From reference 1 below)
In addition, construction is faster and less labor intensive.

(From reference 2 below)
performs the necessary procedural steps in a faster and less labor-intensive manner
