I know it changes the meaning, but would a sentence like this be correct?
Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and production efficiency in various industries.
To say that this sentence
changes the meaning, would be too
mild. This sentence is actually
not making any sense. This is suggesting that recently implemented "shift-work equations" have reduced
four things:
i) sickness
ii) sleeping on the job,
iii) fatigue among shift workers and
iv) production efficiency
The reason this does not make sense, is because if sickness, sleeping, and fatigue are reduced, there is no reason why
production efficiency should also reduce.

Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, have reduced sleeping on the job, have reduced fatigue among shift workers, and have reduced have raised production efficiency in various industries. -> Wrong, doesn't make sense, need to change.
Is this way to analyse it correct?
