production quota
Mandated manufacturing goal
A production quota is a target amount that must be produced within a specified period.
Factories set production quotas for workers or shifts; governments impose them on industries or farms.
Quotas may function as minimum requirements, maximum limits, or both: The factory exceeded its monthly production quota.
In planned economies, production quotas formed the backbone of central economic control.
