I imagine if you are really good at the other job the software can teach people a lot. You can force patterns where they should exist (do things in the right order) and not force them where they shouldn't be.
I think with less skilled labor the developer knows even less than they think.
Say the job is stacking boxes, you have an order 4 hours worth of heavy boxes and 4 hours worth of light ones. In software one is tempted to think there are 2 ways of doing the job. First order 1 then 2 or first 2 then 1. Push this button when order 1 is done!
It might not be humanly possible to stack heavy boxes non stop for 4 hours but it is definitely a bad idea. Thanks to the new software it's going to take 6 hours and cut the "resting" time (time doing light boxes) in half.
