1. a production assignment. It would be the number assigned to whatever is produced. As an example, the Director of Training is given the quota of 45 letters to produce per day or 225 letters per week as part of his standard promotional actions. Targeting is defined as establishing what action or actions should be undertaken in order to achieve a desired objective. In the case of the Director of Training, it would be as simple as obtaining from central files the necessary 45 folders, writing the required number of letters, returning the folders to central files and determining to remain on post daily until this was accomplished no matter what. Any quota can be targetted for increase daily and weekly. For instance, the Director of Training can establish a quota of 5 extra letters per day over that of the day before. This would mean he would write 45 letters one day, 50 letters the next day. 55 letters the day after that, and so on. (BPL 8 Feb 72)

2. a quota is a future expectancy. The way one sets a quota is quite important. If it is too impossible, a quota gets overwhelm not stats. If it is merely "impossible" at first it quite often gets made as it is a challenge. Too low a quota is no challenge at all and gets no quota. To set one, one chooses a future date and draws a line from now to it. Where that line crosses each future week is the quota for that week. If one makes that weekly quota and organizes to make the next week's, one will wind up with the final quota made. (LRH ED 228 INT)
