Dutch term or phrase: vierkantstelling
Does anyone know how to translate this term which relates to IKB pigs and their processing in abattoirs?

Many thanks,

Explanation:
I've translated loads of stuff on IKB pigs and puzzled over this term. End client once defined it as follows:

"Dat betekent dat je registreert wat er binnenkomt (karkassen) in de uitsnijderij en wat er aan varkenslapjes e.d. uit gaat. Rekeninghoudend met snijverlies en afval, moet er evenveel varkensvlees het bedrijf verlaten als binnenkomen"

Another client in the meat industry suggested "input/output registration" covered it. This fits with the definition in Liane's ref. http://www.ikbvarken.nl/assets/pdf/IKB_varken_Interpretatie_...
f. beschrijving van de procedure voor vierkantstellingen;
Procedure voor vierkantstelling ten aanzien van hoeveelheid IKB waardig geslacht/ uitgebeend vlees en IKB waardig uitgeleverd vlees dient aanwezig te zijn.

Explanation:
Perhaps this works. I think cross-checking has to be used as well as input-output.

Or: cross-checking input-output tables.
