production standards

Manufacturing quality criteria

Production standards are benchmarks that specify acceptable levels of quality, efficiency, or output in manufacturing or creative work.

In factories, production standards might govern defect rates or units per hour.

In film and television, they refer to technical specifications for image, sound, and delivery: The network rejected the footage for failing to meet production standards.

The term implies measurable criteria against which actual performance is judged.
