Tööstusvoor

Tööstusvoor is an Estonian term that is used to describe a cycle or round connected with industrial activity, production planning, or investment processes. The word combines tööstus (industry) and voor (round, turn, or cycle). Because it is not part of a single formal vocabulary, its precise meaning depends on the context and time period.

In manufacturing or production planning, tööstusvoor can refer to a production cycle or batch-based workflow in which resources are allocated, tasks are scheduled, and outputs are measured within a defined time frame. In the realm of industrial policy or public procurement, the term has been used to denote rounds of investment, funding, or tendering for industrial projects, as well as stages of subsidy programs or phased implementation.

Historically, in Estonian texts discussing the Soviet era or planned economies, tööstusvoor may describe a specific round of industrial planning or a set of targets assigned to enterprises. Because the term is relatively uncommon in contemporary standard Estonian, it appears most often in older sources or specialized studies.

Usage and interpretation can vary, so readers encountering tööstusvoor should consider the surrounding context to determine whether it refers to a production cycle, a policy round, or a historical planning phase. Related concepts include production planning, industrial policy, planned economy, and procurement rounds. Further reading is typically found in historical or economic works addressing Estonian industry and its planning practices.
