Sure it could

Consider the example of a high-end lens, say from Nikon. The batches of optical glass used are kept hot for months and allowed to cool at an extremely slow, controlled rate. It could honestly be said that it takes a year to manufacture those lenses, even though there isn't an employee tending to each individual lens personally for a full year.
