Gold Rule
Use in production contexts

Word Origin
The phrase combines 需要 (juyō, 'demand') + 量 (ryō, 'quantity/amount') + を (object marker) + 満たす (mitasu, 'to satisfy/fill'). 満たす is a verb meaning 'to fill' or 'to satisfy,' derived from the noun 満ちる (michiru, 'to be full').
Usage Notes
This phrase is typically used in formal or technical contexts, such as business reports, economic analyses, or manufacturing discussions. It implies a quantitative fulfillment rather than qualitative satisfaction.
